Will likely never get graded, but labeling my 2x2 I keep telling myself F-19. What would you guys grade this?
Also - the die cracks/chips on the reverse through the "IC" of "AMERICA" - anyone seen something like this before? Figured it may be an early stage of a CUD forming, but found no CUDs for this date.

Way kewl die crack with chips!
Yea Capt - you know me... if it's odd, I gravitate towards it. If that crack already had 2 pretty decent die chips in it, wonder if the die was in use much longer - like to see what a late die state looks like/what it developed into.
So...what would you grade it?

F-12/VF-20
I'd call it VF20. Neat die chips.
Interesting die chips... I would call it VF20....Cheers, RickO
Go to CoinFacts, look at the 6th coin down,
a 63. It looks like the beginning of the crack/chips.

Weak Liberty. 15 for me.
Nice - it does become quite a larger crack, but the chips seem to stay about the same.
