[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 680626, member: 66"]That obverse (obv 5) was only paired with two reverses, Rev E and the CSA reverse. It does come in four different die states for the obverse die. It was first paired with E in and uncracked state (5), then the crack appeared (5a). Next the die was polished removing a spike that had been present coming off the serif of the one (5b) and it was paired with the CSA rev. The die in the 5b state was the reunited with Rev E. A new die crack now forms along the hemline to the back of Liberty's heel, and finally across her ankle to star 13 (5c) The different numbers WB-102, FS-401, and you may also see W-11 and W-11a all refer to the same coin. In the case of W-11 and W-11a it refers to the pairing before and after the use with the CSA die.[/QUOTE]
