There are many more diagnostics but I provided enough to identify all of the known 1834 half eagle varieties.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Please feel free to use this thread as a resource.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;------------------------------------------------------Original Post Below</p><p>Just for fun I thought I would post what I have. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>An almost complete 1834 Die Variety Set, I am missing 2 of the 9 known.
