Introduction of Coins
Three die marriages are known dated 1818/7. The Large 8 die was paired with two reverses for the common O-101, O-101a and the slightly scarce O-103, O-103a. The Small 8 obverse was paired with a different reverse for varieties O-102, O-102a, both common. Mint State survivors are quite scarce, however, and gems are genuinely rare.Read More
