Also a remarkably sharp strike for an O mint.
Rest in Peace

It is a scare face and looks to be about an H10 die stage so yes, it is certainly worth a premium. What is the story behind this?

It's been in my collection for several years now but I always thought it was a scratch running across the face. I acquired it in a lot for very little. What type of premium? I've noticed mine to have a very strong strike as well as one of the most prominent cracks seen on this variety.
Rest in Peace

Here's an H10 on the bay right now. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1888-O-Sca...202546988221

If you want to get a better feel on what current prices may be join VAMworld 2.0 and ask the question in the Buy Sell Trade section.http://www.vamworld.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=3

In 62, that's pushing a $5000 coin.

Here's a recent cherrypick of mine. An H-1 EDS Scarface where the break is just beginning to form...
