*Willing to trade for Bust Dime(s)
Davignon's most recent book as well as the CCCBHCC census called this die marriage unique...until I came across this one!
This current example shows MUCH stronger details than the plate example listed in Davignon. There are several thin test
scratches in the left obverse field which IMO adds a lot of character of these counterfeit Bust Halves. Overall, I would call
this piece close to EF in terms of details. The reverse may have been slightly double struck, or that may be normal for this
die marriage.
I am slowly disassembling my Bogo Bust Half collection (minus a couple pieces) and this example is easily the most scarce
of the ones I am letting go.
