1840 Bergen Iron Works, Lakewood, New Jersey, HT-206 / Low-143, Copper, 21mm Diameter, Rarity-4.

All are seen weakly struck on the high points due to inept dies which had high relief designs at the exact points on both obverse & reverse too great for a thin planchet. Typically seen die crack on the obverse and most even in UNC are less eye appealing then stuff found stuck to your shoe in a dog park. This example ended about a 7 year search.
