Comments: Reverse N has substantially degraded with heavy diagonal die crack down through the right ribbon end and through the mintmark to the rim under the left ribbon end. Two potential die cuds are forming at the opposite sides of lower reverse. The first is evident between 4:00-5:00 and the second between 7:00-8:30.

The extra ball on the 9 digit is difficult to see on this lower grade specimen though the date position well matches the F-115 variety.

Dale Miller identified the later Reverse N die state during June 2011 and sent discovery coin for inclusion in web-book. I would be interested in publishing a higher grade or even later die state example of F-115a.
