Thulium Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 03/15/2017 4:08 pm A nice IHC RPD/MPD off ebay. This variety has a lot going on! a. 1/1 S, b. 8/8S, c. a strong 9/9 N, d.-f. are the tops of at least 3 digits in the denticles. What I find most interesting is the last digit. Unlike the slight S impressions of the 1 and 8--two 9s are strongly overlapped, resulting in a smaller top loop. Why this was done might be explained by the broken top seen on the northernmost 9. I suspect the first date impression used a broken 9 punch, which was subsequently fixed by impressing in an intact 9. The overlay shows how the two overlapping 9s reduced the shape of the top loop: I was lucky to find this one in a higher grade: Edited by Thulium 03/15/2017 4:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
