<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2916088, member: 74282"]Generally the numbers will be more-or-less randomly assigned based on the order the dies were identified when the study began but will be renumbered before publication so that if you arrange them into a diagram like the one over on the right you have as few overlapping lines as possible. In theory, if you have most or all of the dies represented in your study and enough coins to find most or all of the die links, arranging them and sorting them in that way can allow some insight into mint practices or alternatively if it isn't possible to create any such arrangement because there are so many die-links, that too can lead to interesting insights.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the study above in particular, the coins and dies were sorted into 7 basic groups so the first few dies were group A, the second series of dies group B and on and on and on, but within each group the dies are arranged alongside other linked dies in such a way as to minimize overlapping lines.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

In the study above in particular, the coins and dies were sorted into 7 basic groups so the first few dies were group A, the second series of dies group B and on and on and on, but within each group the dies are arranged alongside other linked dies in such a way as to minimize overlapping lines.[/QUOTE]
