Several points sharper with an ugly dent/gouge at star 3 and the opposing CA in AMERICA. In addition there are numerous small nicks scattered over both sides, the date is weakened by marks, and the rim was smoothed at stars 11-12. Not a pretty cent except for the nice glossy light to medium brown toning. But the die state is special. Extremely rare terminal die state with cud breaks on both sides. In addition the reverse was rotated 150 degrees clockwise and badly misaligned to K-4.5. Only 4 examples are known with cud breaks on both sides (first at ERIC and later at stars 10-11.5). The cud break over ERIC on this example is only partially visible due to the die misalignment. It appears the obverse cud on this example is RETAINED, not complete as seen on the piece sold as lot 441 in the 2007 EAC Sale (a granular F12 that brought $3025). Something quite unusual happened to these dies at the end of their lives, and the result was a few very odd strikes for us to enjoy. A piece for the die state specialist.
