  • Attributing US Coin Die Varieties
    Attributing United States Coin Die Varieties An Introduction Areas of Variety Attribution There are two basic disciplines of variety attribution with respect to US coins. Each requires a somewhat different set of skills. • The first area pertains to dies produced using extensive hand punching of the lesser design elements. These include all of the Liberty Bust types coined from 1793 until the mid- to late 1830s. The presses of this period simply were not powerful enough to transmit the entire design in the die- making process. • The second area concerns dies in which nearly the entire design was hubbed, leaving only the date and mintmark to be hand punched. Such coins were made from the late 1830s until fairly recently, but since 1990–91 all features of the die have been fully hubbed with almost no variation beyond that caused by the occasional double-hubbed die. Attributing Varieties on Hand Punched Dies On early US coins, only the central devices were impressed into the die using a hub. These typically included the bust of Liberty and the figure of an eagle. Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s feathers were often touched up afterward with a graving tool to bring them out more fully. Small elements, such as the leaves and stems of the wreath, were then added with individual punches. The placement of stars, legends, the denomination and the date was also done with hand punches. The engraver used a compass to inscribe a circle for arranging these elements as neatly as possible, but their relative positions always varied enough that a numismatist may distinguish one die from another.
