A recent article in the March 2012 issue of Coin World seems to have driven the prices up a bit. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m curious though - what are the relative rarities of the different dies?</p><p><br /></p><p>There are 5 obverse dies: F-237, F-238, F-239, F-240, and F-241.

I may need to pick up a copy before I pony up any serious money chasing one of these.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have no idea what I&#039;m talking about at all, here&#039;s a link to a prime example:</p><p><a href="http://stacksbowers.com/auctions/AuctionLot.aspx?LotID=29528" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://stacksbowers.com/auctions/AuctionLot.aspx?LotID=29528" rel="nofollow">http://stacksbowers.com/auctions/AuctionLot.aspx?LotID=29528</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
