LIGHTER THINNER DOT with DIE CRACK

Considering that the 'dot' is supposed to have been a deliberate mark rather than a die flaw, the "lighter thinner" variant must be a gradual infilling of the die, i.e. in an older state. I'm afraid I can't see the third dot at all (with the die crack) - how do you know it is there?

Just spotted O'NE on eBay - item number 261617055626 I so want one....

It's there all right. What's worrying is that there are two others seemingly as well : one just offboard the O (between 4 and 5 oclock), and another to the left of Britannia's forearm, down towards her wrist. That would make me stop and think.

Ah, the mega rare "super fuzzy" 1906. At least, I THINK that's what it is... :lol:
