gpnyc Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 nice crack too In case anyone cares.... That crack identifies this coin as B-10, BB-163, a Rarity 2 die marriage and, along with B-9, one of the most common. I believe this is die state III but there should be a small die crack from star 13 to the bust which I can't see in the pics so it may be die state II or a transitional die state. That's the best I can do to attribute this piece without seeing it in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to be honest, I have only kind of wanted one of these for a long time, but never really saw one that wasn't too worn, to messed with, dipped, retoned, plugged(after the mint) etc. When I get done painting my house, I will scan at 2400 dpi so I can peak at more details of it.

Please tell me that if you make a statement like the above, that indeed, you are not married. Women do not forget anything. They have an amazing ability to draw up stuff from a decade ago if not more when it duly or unduly serves the favour of their argumentive side.
