Is this normal ? Images are of the 2 different LC's. Still haven't found the flip with the long "1" in it or I would supply a closer image.

rainman503 Valued Member United States 231 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 3:37 pm I believe that is the design. I went through some 1981s and they look exactly the same. Report this Post to the Staff

11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2253 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 5:36 pm I am referring to the first "1" on two different coins. I have one "81" that the first "1" proceeding the "9" is the same length as the"1" following the "8". On the second coin the "1" is much shorter (which appears to be the norm) than the "1" following the "8". Maybe it is time I learn to do overlays so I can show what I am seeing.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 6:31 pm When you draw the lines between the two 1's in the date, note where they flow across the '8' in the date. The rotation of the date to horizontal can be different, but the intersecting lines through the 8 should be the same. (Horizontal will be hard to determine because the 1's are at different heights) Use the same first three digits to determine horizontal. Then they should match. Report this Post to the Staff

11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2253 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 8:22 pm Coop, I think I did what you are saying in the images I posted. I will try and find a different way of showing it. Report this Post to the Staff
11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2253 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 9:16 pm It is pretty noticeable in these images. The long "1" is one I posted with a pre-cud a couple weeks ago that you could not fine the actual Cud ever being listed. It is possible this die was replaced before the Cud formed.
