[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1371413, member: 30400"]Here are a few 1814's. A 40, 50 and 55. Many 1814 show die cracks. Scholars think was due to improper die hardening or inferior steel. The Mint sometimes extended die life by placing a sturdy band around the die, like a girdle. 1814's are also known for die clashes. You can see a lot below. Not many collectors realize there was a small design change for 1814. Anyone want to guess what it was and to which side of the coin? Lance.
