1864 2 cent coin

Hi all. I'm wondering if anyone has seen an 1864 2 cent coin with the A in states completely filled in. All the research I have done online and looked through on PCGS does not show it this way at all.

Any thoughts on this? Is this a knock off? I tried to upload a photo here, but it doesn't seem to want to cooperate right now.

Thanks in advance for any comments!

    With the A filled in, that would be a die state.
    An expert in the series might recognize it.
    But it wouldn't be classified as a die variety, like the Small Motto is.

    Does it make the coin more desirable? Valuable?
