[QUOTE="Fish, post: 491971, member: 6034"]I'm glad you all enjoyed. I've been a Linux/BSD user for twelve years now, and work as an IT professional. I even run Linux on my phone (from which I do most of my posting, including this one). Free software is something I believe in as well. The 1804 C6 variety of half cents come in many more die states than I have, but I have enough that the progression is shown fairly well. Each coin is technically its own die state, as there were minute, usually invisible, changes with every striking. I know gentlemen collectors who have over fifty examples of this variety, collecting pieces with small changes in progression of cracks and cuds. If I had had more time I intended to include additional details about every coin, but it was late and I wanted to make sure I got my submission in in time. Perhaps I'll be able to update this thread eventually with the other details. Thanks for putting together such a neat contest. I really enjoyed it, and there are some neat exhibits![/QUOTE]
