<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4995299, member: 19463"]While it is interesting that there are so few of these rare coins, the question I would like to see addressed is how many different types of different reverse dies were used with one obverse die. maridvnvm showed a set of ten types with the IICO obverse die. I find those ten and my set of six interesting not only because there were so many reverse types but that we lack a second die of the same type for any of them. In my six shown earlier, there are two Victory coins but one shows Victory on a globe while the other has a normal groundline. It is like the policy was to change the type rather than just to replace a die that was used up. </p><p>I was once told there were 13 reverses used with the PEPT COSI die but I can not find that reference in my disordered correspondence. I have only four - nothing approaching that number.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1199541[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1199542[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1199543[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1199544[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
