[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3178204, member: 8959"]NSP, I find your comment about the availability of 1811/09 compared with the 1809 quite interesting.

At any rate, 1811/09 is a very interesting date. The same reverse die as used for the 1809 was also used to struck the 1811/09 dimes. The die broke very soon after the start of production of the 1811/09's leading to some dramatic reverse breaks. I assembled this set of 1811/09's to observe the die progression. Perfect reverses are quite rare (per the Dime I.D Guide). By the way, I also like the large diameter quarters, like you do:). [ATTACH=full]818328[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]818329[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
