Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/18/2018 11:05 am Ah, really? Think! Could that have possibly happened with the machining design of a Galvano reducing hub maker? Oh, that's how a die is made back then. They were made for each year at a time. It was the mint marks that were applied by hand to each working die, no details were done by hand on individual dies. So what could that be but a flattened contact hit? Edited by Crazyb0 08/18/2018 11:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
