<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1107732, member: 15199&quot;]At the coin club last Thursday, there was a 1806 Half with the same wear pattern and a die crack that circled around the stars/date perimeter. I remembered te OP coin, and examined the 1806 very carefully, and I would have to agree with the die bulge theory above. Would have purchased it except for damage in one area and priced as if none. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t want to rip the thread, but it had a doubled &quot;TY&quot; in LIBERTY. Several of us got into a small argument as to whether the lettering was gang struck into the die or individual letter punches. I was on the side of &quot;Gang&quot;. Does anyone have good referencing on the subject?</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
