<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bikergeek, post: 26557110, member: 112428&quot;][USER=88934]@CoinCorgi[/USER] I will let others answer your attribution challenge - but I will say, that coin is near and dear to my heart because, for a while there earlier this year, I thought it might need to be split into remarriages and I studied it pretty hard.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=77091]@Publius[/USER] is a source of knowledge on this (and other) series and he and I chat frequently. But one thing I&#039;d like to append to his comment, &quot;remarriages are defined by the REVERSE die,&quot; is: &quot;<b>so far</b>.&quot; I am of the opinion that we will find remarriages based on &quot;unfaithful&quot; obverses too someday.</p><p><br /></p><p>A <b>hypothetical </b>example (this is not a real thing, I must stress!). On this page you can see my chart of 1833 Obverse 3 (the one used by CoinCorgi&#039;s image above, with the 8 and 3 close at the top): <a href="https://groovycoins.com/obverse-die.jsp?year=1833&amp;die=3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://groovycoins.com/obverse-die.jsp?year=1833&amp;die=3" rel="nofollow">https://groovycoins.com/obverse-die.jsp?year=1833&amp;die=3</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Important: on my model, the <b>bold text</b> is stuff that MUST BE on the coin, and the normal font text is stuff that MAY BE on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>1833 Obv 3 currently doesn&#039;t show any remarriages that are owing to the obverse. The progression from its early use in LM-7, to LM-8, and ending in LM-10 is progressive.</p><p><br /></p><p>But: <i>what if</i> you found an LM-8 (meaning a coin that paired 1833 Obverse 3 with Reverse X) that <i>didn&#039;t have</i> the &quot;mandatory&quot; die crack rim to cap thru B...? Then there&#039;d be examples of LM-7 without the crack (since it <i>may </i>happen in LM-7 but isn&#039;t mandatory), and of LM-7 with the crack... and examples of LM-8 both with and without. That would change the simple 3-box flow below to something more complicated that might have: LM-7.1 (no crack), LM-8.1 (no crack), LM-7.2 (yes crack), LM-8.2 (yes crack).</p><p><br /></p><p>Or more simply (and more likely) would be: LM-8.1 (no crack), LM-7 (crack absent at first but develops), LM-8.2 (must have crack).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d then lock myself in a room with a case of Mountain Dew and a supply of bean burritos and try to decide when that crack spreads from the ear &quot;across cheek to neck&quot;. Lol. Anyway, just a hypothetical.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1692314[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
