<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quarter-back, post: 1680508, member: 47022&quot;]OK. I&#039;m just going to jump right in.&nbsp; I&#039;m new, so be kind.&nbsp; I have been studying Dr. Wile&#039;s Washington quarter book intensively and have a couple of questions maybe some of you can answer.&nbsp; I can understand attaching a specific Die Marriage Registry number to a coin that can be traced to specific obverse and reverse dies.&nbsp; Where I get confused is the assigning of a DMR number to a pairing of obverse and reverse dies that are not unique.&nbsp; For example, as near as I can tell, DMR-1 for each series is the typical obverse and the typical reverse dies although typical may represent any one of a number of dies from the same hub, or even master die.&nbsp; Should I assume that this number represents Master dies rather than working dies.&nbsp; My second question is in regard to die with evidence of retouching.&nbsp; Would not the extent and exact pattern of retouching be enough to identify a die?&nbsp; I have a 1934d quarter that has the small D reverse and an unretouched obverse and one that has a retouched obverse.&nbsp; Yet both are assigned the same DMR.&nbsp; If anyone can clear up my misconceptions, I would appreciate it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
