ANA Pickup with a little surprise...

habaraca

Picked this Lady up my last day at the show.....

Got her as a slightly off center, and overall Good Looker.
After I took her out of the 2X2, I got a pleasant surprise up in the Cap....

Nice die clash, scroll from the reverse; behind the lower curls and underneath the bust...what is up with the "dragons teeth" (triangles) in the cap?

These are remnants of the dentils from a previous strike.

Members of the Bust Half Nut Club have always called them "pecker tracks".

Double struck! You can tell something was going on since the second (main) strike is a bit offcenter as well.

Any remaining undertype on the reverse?

It's a beautiful coin, congratulations!

LOL ... did you send it off to "6-year photo?"

Wonderful coin, nonetheless!

habaraca

actually found better photo

that is neat. is it a die gouge fixing an engraver slip from the wing to the motto?

ricko

I have been patiently waiting for the reverse picture...checking weekly... waking up in the middle of the night to check sometimes... At last.... Nice coin. Cheers, RickO

should be a neck clash. you can see the base of the neck betweeen the head of the eagle and the motto. you can see lot of cap clashing around k5-6 eagles talons/50c.

i wonder if the QC guy died of yellow fever the winter of '13? 1814 50c pieces are wonderfully a mess!

Was hoping for an expert to chime in...
All I know is what Overton says "The Heavy die defect ridge joins central part of left wing to scroll below E"
