Comments: The obverse die continues to deteriorate until a pie shaped die cracks forms. The die cracks first start at 4:00 and then at 7:00 on the rim and meet at Liberty's left knee at a point to the right of shield. Reverse is again rotated left 23 degrees. This is a common die state for Large Date dimes, locating an example should not be difficult. Collectors will be able to find examples showing the progressive obverse die cracks.
