| Notes: | May 12, 08 - This is the third variant of the four standard type. This appears to be a broken die of the central capricorn variant which has formed the stellate mass in the center. This die obviously saw some use before being discarded as I know of one other coin in William Peters' collection which appears to be a die match to this coin |
