Variety Summary
This variety was first listed by David Poliquin courtesy of Ed Nathanson, but was first noticed by Russell Doughty in Dec. 2013. Interesting in that it seems we have a prominence of die failures at the chin beginning in 1900.
1901 CRK-002 | 1901 Snow N/A
Additional Notes
Obverse
This die is in an advanced die state with the development of die flow lines and a die break connecting the bottom of the chin with the neck of Miss Liberty. In addition, a die crack is seen from the die break and curving upward into the field toward the chin.
Reverse
Reverse is in a similar die state as obverse, with die flow lines visible. Reverse also develops two die cracks:
1. Die crack loops from the bottom right arm of the T of CENT and continuing to the top right of the T. The Die crack forms a die break within and to the right of the bottom of the right arm of the T of CENT and another, smaller die break in the field across the top of the T.
2. Die crack from the denticles at 7:00 into the arrow quill.
