coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/28/2012 1:04 pm Die state is the amount of wear on the die at the time of a certain coin was struck. Die stage is a collection of information of what events happened to the die during the life of the die. Used mainly for varieties. On the CONECA listings they include die state with the die stages, but events happen and the die suffers. So they make a listing to show what timeline the die was when it struck yur coin.

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 07/28/2012 1:33 pm I agree on the explanation. Pretty thorough and concise. And also thanks on the simple one. Just wanted to be sure so that for a future post I have about Die States will be accurate. And it will pertain to varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/29/2012 04:17 am This is one area where EAC has it wrong. What are typically referred to as die states for the different varieties should be called die stages. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 07/30/2012 7:09 pm Now, with that said. When one is talking about only "Varieties" Should "State" or "Stage" be used ? Or both ? And also, do EDS, MDS, LDS etc. mean only "Stage" on "Varieties" only ? Or only "State" ? Period. Will be posting my other questions shortly so I want to be as concise as possible when doing so. Thank's Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 07/30/2012 9:05 pm EDS,MDS,LDS are "die states" and can be used on any coin. It is simply a time frame in the life of the die. As Chuck already mentioned...the stage is just a more specific time in the life of the die....and stages are not recorded on all coins. Report this Post to the Staff
