<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 564050, member: 66&quot;]Now there is where the semantics comes in.&nbsp; From the training of specialists in the early coins a die variety is the result of the marraige of&nbsp; given PAIR of dies.&nbsp; For us when a single die is swapped out it creates a NEW die variety.&nbsp; So you can&#039;t have say a single die variety with a recognized obverse such as a DDO that comes paired with two different reverses.&nbsp; Each pairing would be a separate die variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>Charles is using the term die variety to mean a recognized difference on a single die.&nbsp; And I would assume that he would describe the pairing of that die with more than one opposite die as being the same die variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>Terminology may be shifting over to the way Charles is using it.&nbsp; In the older series there is starting to be a shift to referring to different pairings as die marriages, allowing for the identification of interrupted marriages and remarrages.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
