Hi all,
I posted yesterday a picture of an odd coin. The first pic here is the
Greaser with a swan tail 8
the second and subsequent photos are overlays of an 1882.
I have read that certain dies were grease filled for reuse and that is what it looks like to me. The "swan" tail on the last eight seems to match up to the 1882. The tail is part of the 8 and not some add on.
I know that the
Greaser is a type 2 and the 1882 is a type one, but this makes me question in the transition of switching types, could they have filled the dies for reuse with the new type.
