This 1829 was attributed O-109 by NGC. It has all the tell tall signs of an O-109 but has the A's filled in like a 109a. It has zero reverse die cracks like the O-109a. Would you call it 109 or 109a? Here's a big pic of the reverse and all opinions are appreciated!

    O.109.

    Without virtually all of the other aspects (die cracks) it falls back to the original die state.

    I don't see the A's as filled in, neither do I see the reverse cracks. This is the EDS, which is, I believe noticeably rarer than the LDS. NGC got it right.


    109: A's not filled in & no reverse die cracks.

    109a: A's filled at tops & reverse die cracks.

    I don't think I have ever seen a "prime" die state for this marriage. Do you know if one exists?

    Several (4) have been reported by BHNC members. A's not filled at all, no die cracks.
