I think the common trend of thought on the draped busts is that they were
struck around 1820. I believe that what is considered a "restrike" was made
from "reworked" dies and struck around 1860. These restrikes had an
engrailed edge, while the originals had a plain edge. I think I got this
right - someone please comment if I'm wrong...
