<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 26552891, member: 105571&quot;]The early half dimes, 1794-1837, are a bit unique in that there are a lot of remarriages.&nbsp; To explain, a die marriage is the uniting of a unique obverse and reverse die to create a coin.&nbsp; The coin you mention, the 1829 LM-6 is the pairing of Obverse Die 4 and Reverse Die E.&nbsp; The first time those two dies are used together to strike coins dated 1829 is known as the LM-6.1.&nbsp; If the next use of the reverse die is with a different obverse die, then a different die marriage is created.&nbsp; But if that reverse die is then brought back together with Obverse Die 4, the resulting coins struck are known as the second remarriage, the LM-6.2.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Note that remarriages are defined by the REVERSE die.&nbsp; That is because the reverse dies were often used across multiple years resulting in die remarriages that spanned two or even more coinage years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
