<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 8298378, member: 66&quot;]One possible secret mark, but there is some question to the validity of the story, are the scalloped point stars on the early capped bust halves.&nbsp; Supposedly the dies with the scalloped point stars were ones actually done by John Reich.&nbsp; These dies were individually hand punched.&nbsp; Not all the dies were made with the scalloped point star punch but when it was used it was only used on star 13 and I believe in all but one die the scalloped point was always in the same position.&nbsp; It may not indicate John Reich, it may have been a trademark of one of the other engravers, but it stops the same time Reich left the Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also some claims that the design on the broach is a stylized JS but I find that less believable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
