<p>[QUOTE="Andrew McCabe, post: 4705079, member: 90666"]Yes. His objective was die sequences and matching. Multiple double-die paired coins are of no great interest for that purpose and especially with very common types (many issues have over 500 obverse dies and are available in many thousands good illustrated examples), illustrating all available examples would have overwhelmed the databases for no great die-study advantage. Wasnt a hard and fast rule as given offstrikes he might illustrate multiples to make sure all elements of die could be seen including eg border dots. But he didn't keep adding otherwise identical double die paired l examples, except in cases of rarities where die wear progression might be studied. But not for common types. That does mean its inefficient for provenance searches[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
