Each stage tab below is clickable — it opens more identification photos and marker notes for that stage (A, B, C, and so on). Start on the summary above, then switch tabs to see how the die evolved.
Obverse: A die crack runs E-W through the lower front bust. Die cracks run north and south from the B and E of LIBERTY. Obverse is LMDS.
Reverse: A huge die crack runs N-S through the center two thirds of the design. A near retained cud shows on the left wheat stalk. Another E-W die crack shows on the top of the E of ONE. This die probably didn't last long after minting the coin studied.
