There are two good dies for this type, and about a dozen crude bad dies. This is one of the two good'uns. I always like to collect good style dies - and especially like when fine style dies are inside slabs, because slab collectors don't appreciate the extra value they impart as it isn't captured in the grading (though, oddly, in this specific case the slab said "Fine Style" but am not sure ppl pay much attention to such comments).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
