Comments: Obverse 3 has developed a die crack starting at Denticle Ruler 3 and proceeding through the base of the 1 and 8 digits, then looping under the 4 digit and through the base of the 3 digit. During this die state, Obverse 3 is paired with a new reverse die. Reverse D exhibits die lines behind A(MERI)CA and a minor die line to the left of the foot of O(N)E. This reverse die also shows significant die flash around the bow loops. Reverse D is clashed, however Obverse 3 shows no clash marks.
