<p>[QUOTE="NSP, post: 4116889, member: 74849"]Very nice pickup! Something interesting about this date is that the reverse die was used to strike all of the $2.5 gold quarter eagles for 1805, 1806, and 1807. At first that may sound surprising, but if you think about it, it does make sense for the mint to have done this. The dime and quarter eagle were effectively the same diameter and the reverse die did not bear a denomination, so the dies could be used interchangeably! </p><p><br /></p><p>This was also the case for the half dollar and $10 gold eagle, though there are no known instances of a reverse die being used between those two denominations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
