Comments: Both Obverse 18 and Reverse T are strongly clashed. Faint die cracks encircle the obverse through the date, UNITED STATES, Liberty's head, the cap and OF AMERICA. Reverse T is shattered with seven different die breaks into the rim. See the illustration above. The reverse die break overlaps the bottom of the Medium O mintmark.
