numismatist6 Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 11:32 am Just noticed that two 1875 Swedish 2 ore pieces have distinctly different date styles. The right hand one seems to be a wider date than the left one. Also the 5 is a little high and slightly tilted on the right one and the 7 is slightly tilted as well. The 8s in the dates are very different, the left one has small oval shaped loops while the right one has fuller round loops. Anyone noticed these before? Report this Post to the Staff

From what we've seen of your coins and mine, I believe each die was individually dated for the last 2 digits. Here are two more 2 Ore from 1875, both 75/74--but different dies.

numismatist6 Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 11:54 am Thanks for sharing the overdate. With the 8s on my two, it looks like the 8s were separately cut as well since they are significantly different. Report this Post to the Staff

You're right! I didn't even look at the 8s, but comparing to a few coins on ebay, I see there are two styles. That's interesting. Either it means the whole dates were punched, or there were two types of hubs for this year. Report this Post to the Staff
