[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2662752, member: 78244"]Because apparently a slight difference in the coin's embossment (read Date and mintmark) is not different enough. And apparently these varieties are not enough as there are people who collect by die state. However, when I am better funded, I would like to pick a variety (likely a silver half as nice copper cents/half cents have gotten too ungodly expensive) and have a set of coins from a new die pair to total failure. As an engineer, the process of die wear and tear is fascinating to me. You guys have any suggestions?[/QUOTE]
