SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 12/24/2008 08:06 am Could you cover all those die marriages and provide pictures, too. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Bonedigger Pillar of the Community United States 1267 Posts	Posted 12/24/2008 09:06 am I've often wondered why 1827 has so many die-marriages. Perhaps, associated with/when the new steam presses were phased into operation for the Half Dollars at the mint, or quality checking the work of a new contractor who manufactured the dies...

AuldFartte Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 12/24/2008 10:12 am Wow. If my "in my head" math is correct, that's 449 varieties plus however many were "mated" in 1815. Assembling a complete variety set of those would be one heck of an accomplishment, wouldn't it? Report this Post to the Staff

If my "in my head" math is correct, that's 449 varieties Very close there are 450 varieties plus three crushed edge proof varieties that were made at a later date. Only one person has ever managed to put together a set of all 450 varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
