JHax Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 04/26/2016 4:39 pm Well, you guys are having to think a little... Derek has successfully answered Question #3. The lower line is a die crack. The upper line occurs on all 1858-59 cents. It's the guide line that was cut in by Wyon to provide an anchor point for the bead punch in making the beaded circle. I'll have more to say about that later in another venue. What about Questions 2 and 4? Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: 65a-6/7 + P4a-1* 65a-7 + P4a-2 65a-7/8 + P4b-1* 65a-8 + P4b-2 So,..if we see a P4a go on to a P4a-1, It could be then mated to 65a-6/7, ..and then a possible 65a7 with P4a-2, ..and then a possible 65a7/8 with P4b-1 ..and then a possible 65a8 with a P4b-2 ..if I follow your train of possible die progressions..all these possible die listings are naturally from your site.. We just have to hopefully search and find them.. Report this Post to the Staff

Can we tell the die state? Re: Question #4: What's another name for "die chip"? Questions bring more questions. Try doing this for 50 years and you're liable to become mad as a hatter! Of course, at this point, Diversion Jim asks, Does "mad as a hatter" have a physiological basis? Edited by JHax 04/26/2016 5:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

JHax Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 04/26/2016 6:39 pm No to die clog. A die clog removes detail, it doesn't add it. Try again with the die state. I'll give you the full obverse to help. Re: the mad hatter: What was used in the hats and what chemical was used in its processing? Edited by JHax 04/26/2016 6:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
