<p>[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3114867, member: 78244"]As a complete opposite to the falling-apart dies that struck my 1813 half dollar, This coin was struck from rather fresh dies. I attribute it as S-261 (small date, large fraction, 3 embedded in drapery), which is famous for the circular die crack that develops. The circular crack is seen on the 1804 cent restrikes because the obverse die was used to make those.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I see no evidence of the crack on my coin (which begins between the 8 and 0). I can’t find another like this (not that I have looked too hard). Is this die state rare, and does it command a premium over the “normal” S-261? Thanks for your opinions!</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=66]@Conder101[/USER] [USER=21705]@Marshall[/USER] [USER=76158]@Moekeever[/USER] [USER=8959]@Eduard[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]791089[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]791090[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
