For the first time in my collection I acquired a duplicate date, and then a few days later it happened again. Not a strategic shift, just two chance opportunities to acquire dates which I thoroughly appreciate and support.

<< <i>lol sorry about that...I'm sure we'll be horse trading some day in the future. I was looking for the variety with color to match my AT open claw. Ever since you showed me that 1838 it kept knawing at me from the show. You got a great eye! >>
The 38 in question...

You made me a little happier today, without even knowing it!
My XF-40 1839 half looks A LOT like this one. And, frankly despite it being in an ANACS holder, I was a wee bit worried about it after looking at it over the last couple of days. The rough surface and color started to make me think....and worry....about the surfaces being original or being cleaned.
But seeing it's "twin" here, I feel better.
Carry on.
The second 1854-D came from Alpine Numismatics in 2003 and was my favorite in a small hoard of green label Dahlonega half eagles that Alpine handled at that time. I liked both pieces a lot, so I decided to keep. Upon calm reflection, one can't have too many pretty Dahlonega pieces.
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Alson down to 3 1902-O in DMPL of the 52 graded.

It's probably genetic. How's the baby girl?

Man-o-man, what a sweetie!
Todd's photos sure blow NEN's outta the water by comparison, though the NEN pics are pretty nice looking.

<< <i>Some time back I realized that collecting duplicates started to feel like hoarding, so I stopped doing it. To each his/her own by all means, but for me it was about if I found a nicer one, then I would sell the lesser one to keep the hoard manageable. >>
i get what you're saying. but consider george kellogg's 54-D half eagles, as an example. which of those beauties do you kick out of bed?
Hoard the keys.

<< <i>Here are some of my 1921 Pilgrims. What can I say? I like Pilgrims. Three of them are 65s, and one is 64. Some of you may notice something special about three of these.
They have the same obverse die polishing lines. Is that correct? from the same dies

Good job. Now, do you see anything resulting from the die polishing?
The following below is a grouping of both early and late die stages of this variety.
Any scratches or haze seen is on the slabs not the tokens.
The "grading set" part is total BS and just a reason to keep buying them!

The 4 obverse and 4 reverse dies were prepared by hand and differ to the naked eye in the spacing and orientation of the date, letters, stars, denomination, etc.
Browning-1:
Note that on the somewhat scarce B-1, the 5 in the date barely touches the bust, and note the relative spaces between the first star and the hair, and the last star and the drapery, and on the reverse, and note that the D touches the third feather of the wing, and see the spacing of the C. to the tail, and compare to the next sets of dies.
Browning-2:
The B-2 typically has a weak right side of the R in Liberty, and a noticeable gap in the dentils above the E in States. Here the C touches the eagle's tail. This is a slightly scarce die marriage. note defects at the feet of some of the letters and numbers, and compare and contrast with next
Browning-3:
the B-3 is the most common variety, if you can call any 1805 quarter "common", with probably less than 1000 extant in all conditions. Anyway the B-3 often has a weak E, and the obverse die shows several cracks in the later die states, along with heavy clash marks. this is the same reverse as the B-2 with the gap above the E.
Browning-4:
the fairly scarce B-4 has the 1 in the date very low and the 5 not touching the bust, and the gap between stars 1 and the bust is much larger than the small space between the last star and the drapery. Interestingly, here the C crowds the eagle's tail, overlapping the first and touching the second feather, while there is a larger space between the D in United and the fourth (not 3rd) feather in the left (facing, eagle's right) wing. Further, this obverse die was still in good enough condition after new year's day that they used (due to scarcity of die steel) the unusual process of reannealing the obverse and punching a 6 over the 5 in the date, creating one of the most obvious overdates in US coins, the 1806/5 B-1 quarter.
Browning-5
The rare B-5 uses the obverse of B-1 with a new reverse similar to reverse B but with a gap in the dentils over the I in America.

I found the second piece at the November 2013 Tennessee State Numismatic Society Show in Chattanooga. It was previously sold by Stack's in 2000, as part of the George Elliott Collection. George was an old-time Dahlonega collector and the father of NASCAR driver Bill Elliott. George owned a Ford dealership in Dahlonega back in the 1960s and legend has it that he would show his Dahlonega pieces to his friends on the showroom floor, laid out on a towel on the hood of a brand new Ford!
