I was looking over some of my collection and noticed the drapery on this one was 99% polished off the die. If I recall correctly the 1845-O is known for this as well. There is also a neat little die break at 2 o'clock. Anyone seen this for this date before? The Wiley& Bugert book doesn't mention it. It says heavy die breaks are uncommon, though.

Your coin appears to be WB-8 (page 94).
The die crack near Star 10 is listed,
as is the partial drapery.
There is another die crack from K7 to the rock.
Thank you for the link! Definitely looks like WB-8.
Really nice coin with interesting die cracks....Cheers, RickO
Cool coin
Nice coin, I like the die crack too.

Thanks for the link to Bill Bugert's work. I bookmarked that for future reference. I have a hardcopy of "The Complete Guide ..." but nice to see updates and such.
Interesting coin @coinJP
