If examined with a loup you will find the hair curl behind the head and below the E are present, they just failed to pop. The 9A is not an “Official” variety, but is listed by Browning a a separate listing. The coin is struck from an early state of the dies before any die clashing, but not before the obverse cracked vertically from the rim to 1 in the date, through Liberty's hair, to the E in LIBERTY.
