<p>[QUOTE="NSP, post: 4325330, member: 74849"]The die marriage is JR-6, R2. 1834 is an interesting date, since the cross bar on the 4 becomes increasingly less present as successive obverse dies were prepared. Obverse 1 (used to strike JR-1, -2, and -3) has a perfect 4, Obverse 2 (used to strike JR-4 and -5) has a 4 with a partially broken off cross bar, and Obverse 3 (used to strike JR-6) has the cross bar completely gone. By the time Obverse 4 was made (used to strike JR-7), the engraver has to use the small 4 punch used on $2.50 gold pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
