<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1004848, member: 66&quot;]I see a problem with the proposed senario.&nbsp; If the die line is the remains of the horizontal line from the Memorial that would mean a die clash.&nbsp; That clash mark would end at the edge of the 1 where it was before the polishing.&nbsp; If it was then polished enough to reshape&nbsp; the bottom of the one it would almost certainly have removed all of the clash mark.&nbsp; And even if it didn&#039;t it would still end where where the edge of the 1 WAS not where it is now.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, maybe I&#039;m looking at the wrong die line.&nbsp; There seem to be three coming away from the distorted area of the 1.&nbsp; the uppermost goes straight horozontal and is probably the remains of the die clash.&nbsp; It does not go all the way to the edge of the 1.&nbsp; The other two are lower down and run down to the right.&nbsp; Those do go all the way to the edge of the distorted 1 and are probably polish lines.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, it would merely be a late die state of an earlier die variety.&nbsp; Using the definitions of die variety used on the early coins, a die variety or die marriage is the pairing of two specific dies.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t matter what happens to those dies, cracks, severe polishing that removes details etc, as long as those same two dies are paired up it is the same variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
