DocSSavage Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 01/19/2021 11:03 pm I bought the Wiley and Bugert book and it looks like this could be a WB-102. I would appreciate others opinions. This die state is not the stongest for the horizontal O marks, but I do believe they are there. Report this Post to the Staff

DocSSavage Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 01/19/2021 11:17 pm Hey Mike, what books are available that show the different die marriages? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
Heymikep Pillar of the Community United States 824 Posts	Posted 01/20/2021 01:05 am The first one is a WB-1 (In Bill's newer book) and WB-102 in the older book and has a rarity of R3. If you look closely you will see a doubling of the base of the one on the left side, the 1 was repunched south. I am assuming the previous comment and image of the mint mark is the same coin as the first image? The reverse mintmark is repunched over a horizontal mintmark. The second coin is hard to tell, can you provide clearer images? You will find Bill's newest books on the LSCC site under "Education & Resources". You can download the ones listed or try and find hard bound books. Edited by Heymikep 01/20/2021 01:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
