<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 352903, member: 4367&quot;]Yes, suppose you could say the same thing for CBHs; but whereas all Overton Varieties aren&#039;t really considered Errors, likewise all Errors aren&#039;t given unique Overton Variety numbers either.&nbsp; It&#039;s normally an Overton Number (O-101) and a letter suffix (A&amp;B).&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For example purposes let&#039;s say you have an 1810, Capped Bust Half.&nbsp; Using Obverse Die A and Reverse Die B, you come up with (let&#039;s say Overton Variety O-101).&nbsp; After 10,000 coins were struck with the (A&amp;B) dies a crack develops.&nbsp; The next 30,000 coins are considered an O-101B with the (O-101) becoming O-101-A.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>After 30,000 more coins are struck the dies are beginning show wear and deterioration.&nbsp; The cracks are becoming more and more prominent, this is known as a Late Die State (LDS).&nbsp; Finally the dies are in their Terminal Die State (TDS) and that last coin looks VASTLY worse than any other O-101-Bs and some specimens any even show some die rotation and clash marks, but they are still only 101-Bs considered then, to be struck from a Terminal Die...&nbsp; The last coin struck using dies A&amp;B looks pretty rough and has some obvious defects not listed in the O-101-A or the O-101-B but that&#039;s what it is, an O-101-B.&nbsp; There are no O-101-Cs...</p><p><br /></p><p>Clear as Mud???</p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
