Difficult to spot in picture. Raised metal in field from 8:00-10:00

It is likely that there is an earlier die state that exists with only a single die break.




10P-2011-3Ra

This appears to be an earlier die state of 10P-2011-2R but it is not. The break has no gap between the break and the back leg of the lion but there is a gap on 10P-2011-2R.

The die break is larger and covering more of the lion's back, left leg.

The "4" can be seen in higher grade examples. The lettering shows die deterioration from a very worn die. This die break seems to be fairly common.

This earlier die state of 10P-2014-1Ra clearly shows the same die crack running across the lion. You are also able to see a small die crack running down to 6:00 that will eventually lead to the major die break.
