No, you will find the seven all over the place high, low, right or left as the last digit was hand punched separately.

Yes, they were all over and there are some very nice R/P's as well for the date. I like the '87's.
Whoops ... I misread the date. I thought that it was an 1887, not a '97. The last digit was handpunched, so they move around, but nothing like the '87's. The '97 R/P's have some small offsets, but still nothing like the '87's.

I guess it was neat times at the mint when the pressman can repunch clean up dies for the next batch of production

well, there is the faintest N but it is weak enough that I call it a one cet.

Oh, I thought you meant that the letter was missing altogether, with no space between the E and T. Still interesting, though.

Dollarman ... Can you post a pic of the coin with the missing letter?

Now, there must have been a teenage craze way back where the large cents of any date had the E in cent manually maipulated (sometimes very crudely and childishly so) into a "U". Is that what yours is or does it look like a filled die?

I have seen those before on US Large Cents, and I sure wouldn't want one in my collection. |
