A 1877-S SLH with a large reverse die break
0

2 posts in this topic

Has anyone seen or know of published reports of a 77-S seated half with a large die break running from (STATE)S through the motto and to the tip of the right wing?  The reverse also has fine continuous die breaks around the periphery of the coin in the lettering, arrows, denomination, and olive leaves, often running through the middle of the lettering as well as the top. 

Any information on this die break and die marriage would be greatly appreciated.

...there r 38 different die pairs documented for the '77-S half dollar, virtually all have extensive reverse die cracks in various die states...to accurately assess which die pair ur coin mite be would require a detailed photo of the reverse die....showing the entire reverse....
