  1. Before I post better pics, how does one explain the straight line of impressed denticles under a rimbreak to cud, at Stars 12-13 and betond?
  2. By the shape of them they look like Brads-and there are a lot of them, all pre-strike. I'll try for better pics. Plus, the brad seen at AM curls the edge
  3. Hello Everyone! Here is a stumper: 1811/10 O-101 struck through debris (mostly pieces of iron brads). One complete brad struck through is seen at the edge on the reverse at AM. Now, at stars 12-13 and betond is a line of denticles which are impressed into the coin. The spaces between the denticles, normally part of the field, are part of the devices, popping out from the field. This continues over the edge beyond star 13.Also, there is a definite rimbreak there and a cud is forming over star 13 (or it very much looks like one is). The edge lettering, though jumbled in places, is there. The coin also appears to be a bit thinner than usual, as about half of the edge lettering shows only halfway..This reminds me of the Unique 1828 12 Star Half Cent Manly Terminal Die State 2.0-it's made the same way, but no negativlely cast denticles were under that rimbreak cud, as it happened with this coin. Any ideas?
