[QUOTE="Indianhead65, post: 541159, member: 103422"]Thanks Hobo, I have uploaded the pics a different way so hopefully they show up now for you. As for the die varieties that I was attempting to explain, if I may elaborate, the eleven different die varieties are explained in Valentines book as either being on the obverse only, on the reverse only or on both the obverse and reverse of the same coin. I hope this makes sense. In other words, without typing it from the book, which I dont think I'm allowed to do in detail, it breaks down like this for the dies. 1 Obverse and Reverse 2 Obverse and Reverse 3 Obverse (same as #2), Reverse 4 Obverse (similar to #1), Reverse (die of #2) 4a Obverse (die of #4), Reverse (die of #2) 5 Obverse (die of #4), Reverse (die of #1) 5a Obverse (die of #4), Reverse (die of #1) 5b Obverse (die of #4a) Reverse (die of #1) 6 Obverse (There's a bad flaw to the right arm of Liberty continuing down from the knee), Reverse (Die of #2) 6a Obverse (die crack now extends from Libertys heel to the edge of the coin), Reverse (same as #6 but more pronounced) 6b Obverse (Same as #6a, except a die crack runs from Libertys cap to the edge of the coin. Reverse(same as #6a) This is just a very brief description of the die varieties as I dont believe I'm allowed to go into detail and copy it from the book into my post. To attribute some of the varieties a very close up picture is required (for me anyway) to see the die cracks and doubling in some areas.
