<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cliff Reuter, post: 8069724, member: 115140&quot;]There seem to be two light sources. (About K4 and K8 on the obverse.)

It makes me think that large area of the die broke loose but was still in place and tilted (which could account for the shoulder being visible but the last two digits of the date and the area towards the rim be missing.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Necoins, You&#039;ll really enjoy the expert photos.</p><p>(Where did you find this coin, Virginia or eBay?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
