<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 170114, member: 112&quot;]According to the Wiley-Bugert reference, there are two ways to tell the Confederate strikes - WB-102 and WB-104. 102 has the die crack from by the nose to next to the star. 104 is called the speared olive bud. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I have no idea who actually found the details first, Breen or Wiley-Bugert. But I have a bit of a problem with it and perhaps&nbsp; the TPGs have the same problem ( I don&#039;t know for sure if they do or not ) which may explain why they never slab any of these coins as Confederate strikes. And that is this - that 2,202,000 would have to have been struck with the same die. And since the die was cracked already, I have a hard time believing that. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I am certainly no expert on the subject and could very well be wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
