<p>[QUOTE=&quot;atrox001, post: 229876, member: 1338&quot;]Stages are used, by James Wiles (CONECA), to show the progression of the die use for a die variety in the CONECA Die Variety Listings.&nbsp; These stages, Stage A, Stage B, Stage C...etc,&nbsp; represent the die state and may be noted as an early die state (EDS), late early die state (LEDS), early mid die state (EMDS), mid die state (MDS)...etc, too a very late die state (VLDS).&nbsp; Sometimes markers can be found to map the progression of these stages using die scratches, gouges, die cracks, abrasion, or clash marks, as they appear or disappear on the die as they are being used.&nbsp; A couple good examples in the Kennedy series are the 64 DDO-018 and the 66 SMS DDO-002.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.conecaonline.org/content/kennedydoubleddies1964.html#_1964" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.conecaonline.org/content/kennedydoubleddies1964.html#_1964" rel="nofollow">http://www.conecaonline.org/content/kennedydoubleddies1964.html#_1964</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.conecaonline.org/content/kennedydoubleddies19651970.html#_1966_5" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.conecaonline.org/content/kennedydoubleddies19651970.html#_1966_5" rel="nofollow">http://www.conecaonline.org/content/kennedydoubleddies19651970.html#_1966_5</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Larry Nienaber[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
