[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 5297128, member: 21705"]Another die used both pre-changed and post changed is the Large Cent Reverse K of 1801 which was used as a 1/000 fraction and then used on the 1803 as Reverse G after an attempt to correct it. Since copper is a softer metal, it lasted long enough to make the S-249 an R2 variety indicating a long life. Or it may have been a particularly fortunate softening, engraving and re-hardening process.[/QUOTE]
