SkyMan- I am glad you like it. This is a curious pattern. The copper "die trials" were struck after the 2 known struck in gold. The Wilkison piece from David Akers book is struck from a perfect obverse die with out the die crack seen on my coin. The only other known example in gold is in the Smithsonian and it shows an earlier die state with the crack extending to but not into lady Liberty.
