[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 24685398, member: 105571"]What is causing confusion? The methods of attribution are covered very well in the Bugert books. It sometimes requires some close attention to attribute the correct die marriage if the markers are subtle or the coin is well worn. But your coin is nice and well-preserved. Or are you looking for something other than the die marriage when you ask about the "variety". As far as a type coin goes, this would be the Red Book Variety 1 Resumed with Weight of Variety 2, 1854-1858. You noted that you bought it for the die clashes and I too find them pretty cool. But be aware that die clashes do not make for a die marriage or a Red Book variety. They can, though, be helpful tools for attributing a die marriage. Here is my coin of that Red Book variety. It is die marriage WB-101, Normal Date with Type 1 Reverse. [ATTACH=full]1575002[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
