On Obverse 2, the repunching of Stars 8 and 9 is still evident on higher grade examples. Minor rim cuds are present on the left side of the obverse.
Cherrypicking this late die state cracked reverse variety will prove to be very challenging.

This spectacular die state is listed in the Top 100 Varieties as entry #5 and considered to be R4 rarity in grades of VF or better.
