JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21671 Posts	Posted 11/21/2021 12:27 pm Not an error, it is called Die Deterioration from worn out dies. I believe in 1969 the mint produced new master hubs. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/21/2021 12:51 pm It was caused by a swelling master hub for that year. Thus they created a new/new master hub in 1969, making the devices the normal size again. Note how the devices changed shape and locations on the design.
