RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 11/13/2022 2:49 pm Yes. Just different angles and lighting to show different errors. I couldn't get all those with less. Wish I could have. These are from about 100+ of just the MM. Sure glad it's not like the old days with film. That last shot was only way to sorta catch the upper serif splits.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8757 Posts	Posted 11/13/2022 3:02 pm I cannot tell from your full coin shots how worn the die was when this coin was struck. That being said, I am guessing that this is an earlier die than any shown in the listings. Very nice find, regardless. I marked up one of your pics and have arrows pointing at what can be seen in the earlier stages on VV's but not as strong as yours. Maybe they were polished away. Yours are very strong and prominent, much more so than any shown. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 11/13/2022 3:38 pm Thanks Greg and Jon. Yes I saw those being pretty faint. Probably polished down like you said. The reverse resembles stage D somewhat. Die chip on Right Cornice and Roof. Die chips on Columns 1,10,11,12 not 2. No Die Crack from Cornice to Roof. Here looks like three separate Ds white arrows. I can't figure out what the red arrow is pointing at. Also is this part of what your arrows are pointing to? Edited by RobO411 11/13/2022 3:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8757 Posts	Posted 11/13/2022 4:47 pm The red arrows would appear to be the same re-punching, not the yellow. If my yellow and your yellow arrows were from the same re-punching, that would make the mm way too small, it's just coincidental that they line up. Pretty sure yours is a stage A, that is not even listed. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 11/13/2022 6:24 pm . That's what I was thinking/guessing. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5775 Posts	Posted 11/14/2022 09:05 am Nice looking coin with lots going on. I agree with Makescents (Jon) about this being a very early die state that produced an early "stage A" not seen by the attribution services yet. I've included an image showing what might be multiple vertical bars from the punch. This might be a great one to share with the CONECA site and get opinions from one of their attributors as well. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
