In some specimens this crack is light and if coin is a bit worn, it may only be visible at upper end between letters. In late die states it becomes quite heavy and extends below ear to edge at nine in date. Some late die state specimens have been lapped thereby removing signs of recutting at BE.

Berries 9-8 two under each wing all on inside of wreath and the upper one on the right is the only one of the four that has a stem. Point of leaf under left base of I.
