Henry M Smith Valued Member United States 337 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 8:40 pm Interesting how much the dates of the two years offset. I can clearly see each number from each year was stamped on the coin. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
patrick Pillar of the Community United States 560 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 12:46 am This short series has some very interesting coins in it. There are a ton of doubled dies from the 1970s, on both the date and the obverse legend. The 81/82 is also very cool. There's a great article on these in the December issue of the US Mexican Numismatic Association. If you haven't seen it, it's worth a look. I don't have one of these yet but I'm looking....thanks for sharing yours. Report this Post to the Staff

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 02/09/2014 04:26 am The 81 looking like it's over the 82 is very interesting. Haven't seen the article Patrick is referring to, but is it possible they had hubbed the 1982 dies in '81, and then for some reason needed more 1981's so they used the already hubbed '82's?
