I think the Doubled Die portions of those references is not for this effort Thanks for looking at it Pete but really feel there is no doubled die involved here, that is why I shoved it your way with your recent post here, felt it was very relevant, especially with all the craziness with the 60 dies. It is a well known fact that these obverse dies had been modified from the start, coming from the 1959 master die and reworked. On top of that, they had NUMEROUS clashes, and we all know what happens then, polishing, and die damage. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

I think modification of hubs/master die is not so much. I have found no evidence of working dies being retired for that reason. While I suppose it could be argued that the modification contributed to die instability/degradation, but such modifications are too far removed from the scene of the crime to be considered a primary or even secondary source for degradation.

I appreciate your support! I think you are correct! I am having fun too! I started collecting in 1948 and off and on since. I did not become more seriously involved until I retired, around 20 years ago! I have been a student all my life and I love research! Report this Post to the Staff
