Owner Comments:

This white coin has frosty devices and a die crack from the right side of the lower star point to the rim. There are also die cracks from the upper and lower star points. Another die crack startThe "D" in "United" has the top polished off as usual for all Trimes dated from 1864. Obviously this is a flaw in the master die. The obverse and the reverse also show die clash. The reverse also shows two areas at the top that look like a buckled die however I believe this to be areas of the die that had heavy reworking and polishing due to clashing.
