Die chip on 1820 O-104a
So heritage auctions has a 1820 O-104a going up for auction, and I have never seen one before. Supposedly it has a die chip below the leaves on the reverse, could someone show me where this die chip is?

I looked... using various magnifications, however, I cannot see it... the coin is both mottled and has a hit in that area... so it may be there, but I cannot see it. Cheers, RickO

There is no die chip. Overton was mistaken.
The 104a is characterized by heavier die cracks on the reverse, that's all. Some simply say 104a does not exist...it's just a LDS.
