Surely they wouldn't have been struck individually? I would have assumed maybe a thousand or two were struck. But that still seems like a low number for the die to be clogged enough for denticles to be almost missing.

The weakness at part of the denticles is different between several examples I've seen so it isn't from a clogged die. Would have been a few hundred struck at most. Could have been a test run or die experimentation and could have been struck anytime in the 1920s using a leftover reverse and a newer obverse.

The reverse die is off centre on some strikes.
Quite visible on the PCGS pic.

These also have weaknesses in the obverse denticles.
