<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25376289, member: 101855&quot;]Here is a very late die state of the 1801 half dime. This piece is under graded as an EF-45. The TPG are going by the missing design details, which were never there.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1624579[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse die is broken from above the &quot;T&quot; in &quot;LIBERTY&quot; through Ms. Liberty&#039;s forehead and down to her bust.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an earlier die state of the same variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1624580[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Where did the big arking die break in from on the state go you might ask? It&#039;s still then on the first piece, but very faintly. The whole obverse die shifted downward when the second crack occurred. The break now barely strikes up on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, this is not my coin. It has been damaged by an album slide, sadly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
