coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/05/2016 3:55 pm My brain was looking at this one and though the mint mark punched pushed the die over a bit when it was punched so close to that date device. It actually moved the tail of the 9 over a bit and that is why it is thinner in that device. You have to think this one a bit. But the die is incuse, the punch was making an incuse mark to near the date. The die moved just a bit making all the tails of the 9 from that die thinner in that are for the life of the die. As quick as it took me to close that screen, my brain pulled me back to that with that answer. (no wonder I get headaches so often) LOL Report this Post to the Staff
