[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 3178337, member: 21705"]Is there a particular STAR I need to look at? I can do a closeup if I know where the critical die break is located. Of course, I'm not in my element with VAMS. I'm used to following dies through their individual lives (Noyes style) as they wear, regardless of whatever the opposite die may be. So there is a die progression for the obverse die and a die progression for the reverse die. I suspect this might be difficult if the dies are reground multiple times and then reused. My current understanding is that a die stage is considered a progression within a die state from early to late and the die state is a marker which makes it distinct from the prior die state. I'm adapting from Breen's Die State terminology that created a new die state each time either the obverse or reverse die changed sufficiently in his opinion on a particular variety rather than each die. That would incorporate some changes which would be considered merely changes of the die stage such as stronger cracks rather than new ones as well as additional markers such as CUDs, clashes and new breaks or significant extension of a prior break.[/QUOTE]
