<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 680512, member: 5233&quot;]OK, one of the coins on my &quot;list&quot; to pick up down the road is an example of the 1861-O Seated Liberty Half with the characteristic obverse die crack that shows it was the die that was used to produce the CSA Half Dollars.&nbsp; I have seen several numbers to describe this crack (WB-102, FS-401, ect...).&nbsp; Are there multiple varieties that demonstrate this die crack with different numbers (illustrating different stages of die wear) or are all the numbers I have seen simply different classification systems for the same thing?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m trying to learn about this coin because I have wanted one for quite some time.&nbsp; I think it will be out of my price range for quite some time, but I want to have all the knowledge I can when I am ready to purchase one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For those of you who might not know about this coin, here is a picture of a nice one that I saw on heritage.&nbsp; It sold for about $4000 last January.&nbsp; The crack can be seen running from Liberty&#039;s shoulder past her nose to the rim.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1861-OSeatedLibertyHalfDollarcrack.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/crack.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
