<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NSP, post: 3049827, member: 74849&quot;]Another thing worth considering is how it was probably time intensive to make a die, so they likely wanted to make sure that if they made a reverse die that it would be used in one way or another. You’ll notice that the quarter eagles and the dimes of this era had essentially equivalent diameters, so the reverse dies could be used interchangeably if they did not have a stated denomination. In fact, all 1807 dimes were made with a reverse die that was used to make quarter eagles in prior years.</p><p><br /></p><p>You’ll also notice that the half dollars and eagles are the same diameter and lack denominations. This is likely for the same reason, but I don’t think there are any reverse dies that were used to make both denominations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
