Years of buying almost-dateless George V Dimes has paid off! Found this one at my LCS with a large lot of other George V Dimes. Date can't be seen in the pics but in hand you can see the bottom curve of the 3 and the 19.
Thanks MatteProof. What's the difference between that and a regular stapler, although mine is a high-performance industrial stapler, I just use regular staples.
A flat clinch stapler will leave the staple flat, not bulging out unlike regular staplers. It's better because 2x2s stack better and it fits better in an album.
Thanks to all. Now I was wondering, because I see a bunch of these lying around sometimes, is there a way to pick out a Broad-Leaves Variety on a dateless coin? I mean, broad leaves were only minted 1909-1913, and based on the ruler you can rule out 1909 and 1910. Then because 1911 was the "godless year" you can rule out a 1911 if there is not "Dei Gratia on the obverse". But is there a way to differentiate between a 1912 and a 1913?
