Also, what's up with inside loop of the 9? Repunched over a squared 9 or just die wear? http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...19_1960A.jpg http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...29_1960B.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

Matching scratches like that are the same way ballistics labs match up bullets fired from the same weapon. That problem with the 9 looks to me like a small die chip.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/26/2007 8:29 pm If your searching OBW rolls it is common to find coins from the same die pair. The 1960-D small dates were known for die breaks on letters/numbers. I guess that is why the changed the design to the large dates. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/27/2007 10:18 am The 'problem' with the 9 isn't a problem at all. It's part of the design, as wierd as it sounds. It's on nearly all 1960 small date cents, except for those where the feature has been polished off or has worn off. You might also notice similar raised areas in LIBERTY.

livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 01/04/2008 1:13 pm I thought it was the 1960D-1MM-092, but the MM is too far east, and is a different RPM type. Any more specific identification? Dick Report this Post to the Staff
