<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 3152052, member: 21705&quot;]I just purchased the first of these two to go along with other I have and can&#039;t find when or where I acquired. By chance, they represent the two die states of this variety. Or do they?</p><p><br /></p><p><b><font size="5">Sheldon/Noyes Obverse Die 21</font></b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>State A</b> - Paired with Sheldon/Noyes Reverse T (States A [Breen Variety States I, II &amp; III] &amp; B [not described by Breen] on the S-143.)</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Perfect but maybe clashed under chin.</b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>State B</b> - Paired with Sheldon/Noyes Reverse T (States C [not described by Breen] on the S-143.)</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Two very light cracks from denticles centered over T.
