1972-D Kennedy with Runny Nose - Tail on O

Do you Kennedy specialist recognize this 1972 D Kennedy? Large die break from nose to chin and field die breaks including a tail on the O of GOD. If this were a Morgan, it wouls be a major VAM.

    I'm no expert by any means, but that is COOL. You're right, if that was a morgan it would be a very popular VAM.

    Appears to be a clash with a die break on the nose, but I don't see one off the letter O. Maybe it's just the photo?

    Pretty cool anyway. Is the reverse clashed?

    I thought it looked like a clashed die also but I found some good pics on CoinTalk and it does not seem to match up with them. Doesn't really look like a die break though? Seems like someone would have seen this major booger before if there are more out there.

    I posted the above coin earlier in the year and just found a second example... later die state from a very worn die but no question it's the same die.
