Trivia Question (1799 "Rev of 1798" ED)

EVillageProwler · March 19, 2003

Here's another ED die marriage that I find very interesting...

1. Which 1799-dated ED die marriage used a reverse die from 1798? This reverse die is also known as "Line Star Pattern" or "Reverse of 1798".

2. Name the 1798-dated die marriages which also used this reverse die.

The 1799 "Reverse of 1798" is the 1799 B-15, BB-152 variety.

It is a re-use of reverse dies actually used for coining 1798-dated dollars. Those varieties are :B-24, BB-124 and B-25, BB-123.
