<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bikergeek, post: 24790902, member: 112428&quot;][USER=105571]@Publius2[/USER] after we corresponded about this I did a little noodling on it. I&#039;ve got all five of the remarriages LM-8.1 thru LM-8.5 and was thinking this business with the stars was a problem with obverse 4 (and thus, progressively, would be seen on the later remarriages). But in looking at my coins, it didn&#039;t pan out that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve changed my mind - I think it&#039;s an effect of reverse T, which shows a die bulge that at various times obscures various combinations of the RIBU letters in PLURIBUS. Reverse T has a long glorious life, which spans an amazing 13 pairings (marriages / remarriages) in 1832 and 1833 dated coins. In the LM-8.x remarriages, that bulge is prominent - and I found a similar marker in Star 1 of my own 1832 LM-8.2. Here&#039;s my AU55 in TrueView. Star 1 is definitely &quot;globbed&quot; like this example coin you picture here! My other LM-8.x remarriages don&#039;t exhibit that. I link the Coinfacts for LM-8.2 below the image, if anyone wants to poke around. All in all, an interesting observation!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1586048[/ATTACH] </p><p><a href="https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1832-h10c-lm-8-2/38671" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1832-h10c-lm-8-2/38671" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1832-h10c-lm-8-2/38671</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
