Can you guess the date of this coin from the shattered reverse???

Well what is your guess as to the date on the obverse of this coin?

    I haven't a clue what the date is, but that is one cool reverse die break.

    Is by any chance that an 'S' mint mark to the left of the eagle or just an anomaly from the fractured die?

    Is this an early die state of the baseball cracked reverse half. Srry but I am a quarter guy, and don't know all my halfs yet. But am slowly learning.
    If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around. Am I still wrong?

    Very cool. I would like that piece even without the shattering.

    And no, I am not sufficiently versed to tell you the date. It's before 1866, haha.

    And not 1853. image
