[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7686928, member: 19463"]Interesting. This coin is an obverse die link to the one below that I failed to sell in one of John Anthony's CT sales a couple years ago. I considered it expendable because I had enough similar coins and the loss of COSII bothered me. [ATTACH=full]1320037[/ATTACH] Since no one wanted it, I risked cleaning it and got this result showing the die break well enough that I decided to keep it. [ATTACH=full]1320040[/ATTACH] The pre-claning coin appeared on my web page as part of my 'quiz' on die links. [COLOR=#ff0000]Examine the twelve coins below. Identify any die duplicate coins and die linked obverse or reverse sets. The photo includes at least one die duplicate pair, at least one obverse link and at least one reverse link. Not all coins are necessarily linked to another. Some coins may be involved in more than one link. (Hint!)

Dies of coins I&L are not linked to others shown. This last one is my favorite reading FEIICIT TIMLOR.. It also has reverse layout lines.
