[QUOTE="okbustchaser, post: 25469409, member: 72642"]A couple of years ago I thought I’d put together a die study on the 1817 O-105 die marriage. This was the last use of obverse die 3-s2. (Used previously to strike the O-103a--the punctuated date die marriage in the die state with the dot removed). In all there are four die states for this die marriage: (1) No Obverse or Reverse die cracks (the O-105 Prime; Probably R7 per the Auction and Mail Bid Prices Realized (AMBPR) Sadly, although I have seen one of the 6 or 7 known I don’t own one to show. There is one currently for sale--I can't afford it right now. (2) Obverse die cracks only the O-105; probably R6 (13-30 examples) per the AMBPR [ATTACH=full]1630248[/ATTACH] Note the crack at star 9 No die crack at date [IMG]https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/1c/108a7mkvqkwr.png[/IMG] No die crack at top of OF (3) the O-105a...Obverse and Reverse die cracks , R4- (150 to 200 examples) [ATTACH=full]1630249[/ATTACH] Die crack at date just starts above 7 in date. [ATTACH=full]1630250[/ATTACH] Die crack above OF (4) the O-105b...Full-blown Obverse and Reverse die cracks Probably R-4+ (76 to 125 examples) [ATTACH=full]1630251[/ATTACH] Crack at Star 9 extends fully across Liberty's cap; crack at date extends to rim above Star 11. [ATTACH=full]1630252[/ATTACH] No difference from the above state.[/QUOTE]
