Hi guys,
Just noticed this crack on my newly acquired Capped Bust Half!

The 1811 Small 8

    Nice pictures of the cracks Joey. :)

    Careful Bro', crack is addicting!! :D

    These are how I identified the Reverse Die for the Die Marriage I told you about. This reverse Die was shared with two different Obverse Dies, creating the Die Marriages we refer to as O-106 and O-107.

    EDIT; after reconsideration, yours appears to be the O-106.

    Nice find.... Die cracks are interesting and serve as identifying points for die states and marriages. Cheers, RickO

    Nice coin, and interesting. Along with the die cracks, both the obverse and reverse have a lot of die erosion, the dentils are gone, stars drawn to edge, erosion at date and letters, and clashing.

    "Die marriages" are Overton.
    Just keep in mind that the dies don't always stay married. Sometimes they get a divorce and hook up with another die.
    Here is the one from the Link set that matches yours (same 'die marriage' O-106) with the same die cracks.

    These marriages are reminding me of the 1813 102 and 104
    They both share a reverse and have very similar obverses.. can be easy to mix them up. And they're also pretty tough (R4)

    Maybe they don't get divorced and are just having something on the side.
