<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave4dawg, post: 1777557, member: 39878&quot;]This thread is falling too far behind. Some nice coins and anecdotes posted. I love the &#039;98s but have a soft spot for a few of the Middles and Lates too. Here&#039;s my favorite and only Middle Date in my personal collection. Not the rarest Middle, but generally considered one of the most desirable. The 1818 N4. This is the latest die state and the dies are totally failing. Incredible obverse sinking of the die, cracks, chips and &quot;flaking&quot; giving the appearance of a moonscape around the portrait and obliterating much of the detail in the face. The obverse die sinking causing the O in ONE on the reverse to not strike-up.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p105/1798cent/1818N4OBV_zps4b142611.jpg?t=1377746531" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p105/1798cent/1818N4REV_zps2df72ed1.jpg?t=1377746656" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
