  << <i>Colorado collector and early American dollars researcher W. David Perkins, who also assisted PCGS with the coin's attribution, stated: "It is somewhat important to note that the strike on the reverse of this new 1798 B-34, BB-126 die marriage is very similar to the strike on the 1798 B-18, BB-103. There are only six specimens of the extremely rare B-18, BB-103 die marriage known to me. All six are in lower grades, and have a similar strike and look. All are in lower grades with the finest known graded PCGS F15." Perkins added: "As the obverse (for 1798 B10, BB-109) was used later to coin more 1798 BB-18s, one wonders what happened to this reverse die. Why was its use interrupted? Perhaps, somewhere 'out there' is a BB-109 exhibiting a sudden, massive reverse die failure." "Although we don't have a new die state showing massive die failure for 1798 B-10, BB-109 die marriage, as was anticipated, we now know that this reverse die was used at least one other time, in striking the new 1798 B-24, BB-126 die marriage," said Perkins. >>

  Is this where you might fill that pesky 1832 LM-8.1 hole?

  Pretty cool! There are still neat discoveries to make, even among 200+ year old coins.
