Lower vest abraded away. Innumerable die scratches crisscrossing throughout the obverse. Reverse:
Numerous mostly north to south die scratches throughout the reverse. Strong die scratch directly south from E in UNITED. Submitted by: Eric Axtell Cross-References: CONECA: RPM #3
Comments: I would like to see an example of this die
