<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 663667, member: 7638&quot;]Nice one you have there, Eduard!Yours appears to be higher grade than mine (AU?); do you see signs of the PL surfaces?&nbsp; I&#039;m not a member of the SLCC, and I am sure there are articles about die varieties of this issue in the Gobrecht Journal. All I have to fall back on is Breen, who states in his Encyclopedia that there were 3 reverse dies used, including a closely spaced CC and a widely spaced CC. Interestingly,ATB(According To Breen), one of the dies was also used on the 1871-CC, another on the 1872-CC, and a third on the 1873-CC. That made sense, as these were all low mintage coins (the 1870-cc by far the highest). I am sure that Breen&#039;s observations have been superseded and improved upon. It might be interesting to look at the mintmarks on coins in some of the auction houses&#039; archives, or simply track down the proper issue of the Gobrecht Journal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
