<p>[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 13261794, member: 105571"]This is the latest acquisition, an 1830 LM-1.2 remarriage in a Middle Die State. I already had an early die state example of this remarriage which is the fourth use of the reverse die. In the late die state condition, a cud develops through ERI and another one at the top of A2. You can see in this coin that those die cracks are developing and growing but not yet at the cud stage. My addiction went from a Red Book set of Capped Bust Half Dimes - to a collection by die marriages - and now to die states. I probably need an intervention.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, that weakness at the left of shield and the eagle's neck and wing is due to die bulging, not wear or a weak strike. They were getting all the use out of these dies possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1529578[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1529579[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1529580[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
