<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3877969, member: 19463"]There really does seem to be quite a variety of these for us to choose the one we find appealing (or is it by chance the one we found first?). My reverse die does not seem quite so worn but the style makes the rider look small or on a larger horse. We know that every die was an individual endeavor but I have to wonder if there is any significance to the variations. Perhaps someone will discover a way to separate dies by different cutters or from different dates. Die studies require a lot of material and time so tend to be done on more rare coins with fewer dies. Following die states from fresh to worn and which reverse dies were used with which obverses will add even more to the list of studies that may never work up to the top of someone's 'to-do' list. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1024468[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
