Not that I am disagreeing, but I would need a lot clearer photo of 38XX to state for sure that the die is broken. The vertical lines, such as the curved sides of the shield, are much less distinct due to the oblique lighting. If I blow the image up and exercise my imagination () I can almost convince myself that the sides of the crown are there. Note the "washed out" right side of the crown on #866 due to the angle and the lighting.
