<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 26627682, member: 104064&quot;]Fantastic! You must be the person who posted on Facebook around April 2024, or you acquired your first coin (above) from them. I saved off the FB images and it&#039;s clearly the same coin. I hunted high and low for another one for a little while after that. None in Heritage archives and one possible on Great Collections. It&#039;s already a semi-key so the Obverse 1 anomaly must be quite scarce, and yet you have two of them from different die pairs!</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the reverse die is also different. On your first coin, the MM is centered, but on the second it&#039;s marginally left of center - note that the gap between ribbon and MM is slightly wider on the right side. The first coin has 5 notable die cracks, whereas the second has one, in a different location (upper right wheat leaf to the rim). On the second coin I also notice that the bottom of the left corn leaf is polished off and wheat kernels at the top are floating, also due to excessive polishing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Have you published this anywhere? I&#039;m sure BCCS journal would love to have an article on it. You can get your name up there in lights as the discoverer, if you&#039;re into that sort of thing. I&#039;ll note this as a confirmed transition variety. I wasn&#039;t certain before. </p><p><br /></p><p>I put your images together, if it helps people see that the two obverse dies were different (date position), and see if I&#039;m right about the reverse dies also being different. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1698138[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1698139[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the GC coin mentioned above. Poor image so I wasn&#039;t sure. I think it&#039;s the same die pair as your first coin. <a href="https://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/1407619/1901-S-Barber-Dime-ICG-AU-58-Details" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/1407619/1901-S-Barber-Dime-ICG-AU-58-Details" rel="nofollow">https://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/1407619/1901-S-Barber-Dime-ICG-AU-58-Details</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1698140[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
