Thulium Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 03/11/2017 8:21 pm Another pickup on ebay. Of all varieties I hunt for, IHC varieties are the easiest--because so many exist for each date. Here's an 1888 IHC with at least four 8 punches in the denticles. I would grade the coin around VF30 Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/11/2017 8:32 pm What are you meaning by " punches"? The die chips? See a bunch of tinier ones all around, would think it'd happen there most often with the small size of detail. Edited by Crazyb0 03/11/2017 8:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Thulium Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 03/11/2017 8:41 pm Those aren't die chips--they are MPDs (misplaced date or digits) in the denticles. They're found a lot of years on IHCs. It's thought they were done to test die hardness. For more info, here's the Snow listing for this variety. Edited by Thulium 03/11/2017 8:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
