I just obtained my fourth Lafayette variety and took some close-ups of each of the coins to show the die markers.

Nice writeup on the Lafayette varieties. I thought I was the only one paying attention to these varieties. The common 1B is missing from my set, perhaps because I consider it too common for me to spend the money. The 1A is the toughest. Here is one of my 1As.

Mozin, that is a nice, well-struck 1A. Mine appears to be a later die state since I have a die crack through the second O in honor on the reverse. I haven't seen many 1As so I was curious if others would show the same crack. Guess not.
