'''Stage 1''' An earlier die state showing only partial single incuse t or showing no t at all, has yet to be found. Such a coin would be considered an UEDS and quite rare. '''Stage 2''' The MDS specimen showing doubled/tripled Clashed top of t from ust in the HairVee on Obverse, and typically comes with a double Clashed Neckline. This is the most common of the three stages. '''Stage 3''' The LDS, which commands a hefty financial premium, has a full t from Trust from the reverse showing in the right hair vee of the lower hair edge and is struck so deeply that it covers the doubled incuse t seen on the EDS. The tops, however, can still be seen and the LDS is correctly described has having three t clashes in the first hair vee.
