<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 913306, member: 21705&quot;]I was looking at Heritage archives for comparison coins for my 1907-D this morning and got sidetracked. I sorted by at the best grades and looked at the first 50. After eliminating wrong descriptions, no picture and multiple sales of the same slabs, I was left with 33 ranging in grades from MS68 to MS65. Now I noticed 2 things. </p><p><br /></p><p>One, almost all had trace evidence of earlier off center strikes leaving ghost like images of the headband, letters, stars or denticles.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, the position and rotation of the MM is all over the place. Ther are at least 5 locations/rotations and possibly large and small D varieties. Some of the images took enlargement better than others so I can&#039;t be precise.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anybody have a reference to the known varieties for these? With this many variants in such a small sample, they have to be common enough. </p><p><br /></p><p>Did I remember right that each die produces about 50,000 coins which would make about 20 dies (Mintage 1,030,000) that year?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
