[QUOTE="robec, post: 2426650, member: 19094"]260 examples of high grade Barber overstrikes were minted by D. Carr and his Moonlight Mint. I actually ordered one a year ago today, but I never really inspected it until last night. I noticed the reverse had several die cracks, but didn't know if it was by design or if the die was actually breaking up. I went to the Moonlight Mint site and found this bit of information about a couple of late die states. [IMG]http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/Home/LateDieState.jpg[/IMG] Mine appears to have not only the crack from the final die state, but a couple others that have extended from the original cracks. I'd be interested to see if any one has this or even later die states of this overstrike. [IMG]http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/Home/FinalDieState.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
