<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24764695, member: 101855&quot;]Here is the classic item for die breaks. How this Civil War token die stayed together to make this piece is beyond me. The funny part is that the variety is actually common and available. The CWT store card variety number is NY 630-M-6a.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1584145[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse die for this 1801 half dime is split right down the middle. The various impressions from this die once confused me to the point when I thought there were two varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1584146[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This piece was made from the same die, believe it or not. The big crack that runs down from the &quot;Y&quot; in &quot;LIBERTY&quot; did not strike up when the die cracked down the middle. The first coin I posted is a later die state. This one was stuck before the previous piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1584147[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
