<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2491110, member: 73983&quot;]Hey Rick, I understand where you are coming from.&nbsp; Technically a variety should have only one known die.&nbsp; But I have come across several that have multiple dies that are attributed as the same variety.&nbsp; I don&#039;t understand that one.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>They even came from the same collection by the same expert.&nbsp; An example of this is over at Great Collection.&nbsp; Here&#039;s the link <a href="http://www.greatcollections.com/search.php?fromyear=&amp;toyear=2016&amp;grade_range_1=1&amp;grade_range_2=70&amp;fromprice=&amp;toprice=&amp;mode=product&amp;sort=01&amp;series=0&amp;q=1952-D+Washington+Quarter+FS-501&amp;listing_type=4&amp;frombid=0&amp;tobid=500" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.greatcollections.com/search.php?fromyear=&amp;toyear=2016&amp;grade_range_1=1&amp;grade_range_2=70&amp;fromprice=&amp;toprice=&amp;mode=product&amp;sort=01&amp;series=0&amp;q=1952-D+Washington+Quarter+FS-501&amp;listing_type=4&amp;frombid=0&amp;tobid=500" rel="nofollow">http://www.greatcollections.com/search.php?fromyear=&amp;toyear=2016&amp;grade_range_1=1&amp;grade_range_2=70&amp;fromprice=&amp;toprice=&amp;mode=product&amp;sort=01&amp;series=0&amp;q=1952-D+Washington+Quarter+FS-501&amp;listing_type=4&amp;frombid=0&amp;tobid=500</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Note the three coins half way down &quot;From the personal collection of Bill Fivaz&quot; the first one in the list has a slightly CCW rotated reverse die and the MM is placed lower than the other two.&nbsp; The other two have correctly aligned reverse dies with a slightly higher set MM.&nbsp; This would indicate that the particular MM punch was used on 2 separate dies, yet they are listed as the same variety.&nbsp; So using pickups such as die cracks or polishing lines and gouges would not work on identifying this particular variety.&nbsp; I know I am talking about a Mint Mark variety and not a Doubled Die, but it&#039;s something to ponder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
