rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 08/30/2021 6:22 pm dan-in-crystal-lake I was wondering is the G in gratia tripled punched. I am referring to the coin you posted. thank you in advance. Report this Post to the Staff
dan-in-crystal-lake Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 08/30/2021 7:38 pm At the very least it is double punched with a decent offset. Here is the link to the Haxby description of that obverse showing the CA and G repunching. https://www.vickycents.com/obv-o52a.html Here is the G from my coin.

Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 3:12 pm Here is another nice one with the same 45a obverse paired with the K2c reverse. Haxby catalog # PC59-155. Also hard to find especially in this condition! https://www.vickycents.com/rev-k2c.html It appears the 45a obverse was retired after this pairing, but the reverse K2c was then paired with Obverse 45c.

dan-in-crystal-lake Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 6:58 pm I like terminal die state coins. With all the significant cracking, you have to wonder how it held together! Report this Post to the Staff
Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 08/31/2021 9:33 pm I really like the terminal states too. There's another one coming up from Bill's collection that you're going to like. I haven't got that one photographed yet. Report this Post to the Staff
Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 09/01/2021 2:22 pm Here are the photos of Haxby PC59-31, Obverse 15 and Reverse E17a. There are several engraving slips in the center of leaf 9 where the stem was being repaired. Even with the wear and crud on this coin, they are seen. There were 3 reverses paired with Obverse 15, (E17, E17a and E17b). The first one E17 is fairly common, but the 2 others are quite scarce. https://www.vickycents.com/obv-o15.html https://www.vickycents.com/rev-e17a.html Report this Post to the Staff

dan-in-crystal-lake Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 09/02/2021 08:16 am There is also some minor doubling in the date. The 5 shows doubling at the tops, the 8 on the top left, and the 8 at the top left. The 5 and 9 are generally easily seen, the 8 needs a higher grade coin than I have.

Here's a photo of the date on a higher grade coin that I have in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 09/02/2021 2:34 pm Haxby PC59-51 Obverse 24 + Reverse E26a. Obverse 24 was paired with 5 different reverse dies. E26a was the second. The die crack to the E of DEI is the best marker to identify Obverse 24. This pairing is the easiest of the 5 to find, but even this one is scarce. The rarity ratings for the 5 die pairs in order are are R-7, R-4, R-6, R-10 and R-8. https://www.vickycents.com/obv-o24.html https://www.vickycents.com/rev-e26a.html Report this Post to the Staff
rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 09/02/2021 5:37 pm phil the last 2 obverses you posted are they suppose to match. because if they are they dont. they have one think very different. how I know that is I did and overlay of those 2 reverses. every thing matched but one thing.

Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 09/03/2021 09:00 am The last obverse I posted is Haxby obverse 24. The one before that is Haxby obverse 15. They are NOT the same obverses. Every Haxby die number is a different die. Report this Post to the Staff
rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 09/03/2021 8:48 pm Phil310 thank you for that information. so what you are saying is Haxby. system identify the dies that struck these coins. so would have the mint started this or did MR Haxby himself start the numbering system first. I can see I need to study this Haxby site thank you so much. a friend gave me this catalog written by Haxby and Willey. there is some very great information in this catalogue. Phil310 thank you so much Report this Post to the Staff
rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 09/03/2021 8:55 pm Phil310 I was wondering has anyone ever come across a coin. That did not match any of the die numbers in the Haxby catalogue site. Report this Post to the Staff
1960NYGiants Pillar of the Community United States 667 Posts	Posted 09/03/2021 10:30 pm @rocky - the answer is yes. Go to https://www.vickycents.com/ and click on the news link. Several of us have discovered previously unknown dies and die pair combinations. At least 3 were by me. The site went live in 2011. Since then approx. 12 new dies and 30 pairs have been added with about 6 removed because they were determined to be die states instead of individual dies. Thanks to @Hax and @Phil310 and others for publishing this data for all collectors to study. LM of RCNA Member of CATC Report this Post to the Staff
