[QUOTE="robec, post: 2639804, member: 19094"]Mintages and die usage did vary through the years. 1910 had a mintage of 4,083 and used 2 obverse and 2 reverse dies 1911 (2411) had a mintage of almost half what 1910 used but also used 2 sets of dies 1912 (2372) used one set of dies 1913 (2983) used two sets of dies There are two dies states listed for the 1912 obverse, early and late die states. The later die state will show additional markers not found on the early die state. There is only one die state from the reverse. It only shows markers from the master die, which were the same shown on all MPLs from 1910-14. Some of these markers are tough to see unless the light is hitting just right.
