<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 726076, member: 18157&quot;]The Newcomb numbering system isn&#039;t chronological which can make things somewhat difficult to track. According to Breen, N3(N3.5) and N4(N4.5) were the last die pairs used for 1834. They used the same Obverse die, but N3(N3.5) used Rev.C and N4(N4.5) used Rev.D. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Rev.D die was struck from the complete 1835 hub. Prior to the N4 die, the hubs were incomplete and much detail was added to the working die by hand. According to Breen, the N4(N4.5) Rev.D was used after the striking of the N3 proofs, but before the N3 business strikes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rev.D is described by Breen as having &quot;serrated&quot; borders...which might be what&#039;s going on with the rim at Sta(tes). Btw, I missed this earlier...the Reverse &quot;gunk&quot; I referred to earlier is (according to Newcomb)...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
