<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 10395671, member: 105571&quot;]There are many, many examples of new die marriages that have been verified with only one example ever surfacing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, getting PCGS et al to recognize a new die marriage and label it on the slab is another matter.&nbsp; My understanding is that the TPGs will require some significant verification from well-recognized experts.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am somewhat confused, though, by your description of your find.&nbsp; As a general rule, clashes do not constitute a new die marriage on their own.&nbsp; Sometimes, clashes are part of other unique markers of a particular die.&nbsp; But the same die may come both with and without clashes.&nbsp; Often clash marks represent only a different die state.&nbsp; While a previously unknown die state of a known die is of interest to specialists, it won&#039;t merit a new die marriage attribution, what you&#039;ve been calling a Fortin number.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other than clash marks, what has convinced you that you have a previously unknown die?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
