<p>[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 1418159, member: 24544"]It is a very interesting variety as I agree it's unusual to fix a die. But it's the only possible explanation for a coin, 1852 N11, which has four different unique obverse rim cuds in it's early state. Then it has a long run of middle die state coins with no obverse or reverse cuds. Then it has a final state with a large rim cud break on the reverse again with no obverse rim cud breaks present on any example. </p><p><br /></p><p>The only other option is that the four unique obverse rim breaks are actually 4 different obverse dies. Trust me, I would love for that to be the answer as I own one of the pieces and it would increase it's value by a factor of 20. But it has all the diagnostics of the N11 obverse die. I am bring the coin up to EAC in a couple weeks and will get people's opinions there, but as stated and as written by Grellman, it appears they fixed the obverse die after the cuds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
