Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/01/2017 8:46 pm Not an error, just a very worn die. As dies are heavily used, the metal on the dies moves outwards. The dies are frequently polished losing details (around letters, etc) notice how close these have moved to the rim, and are curling up the edges. This it because metal hah moved so much the outer edge of die has been ground away to fit within its holder. Really see how even the US Mint had to "Make things stretch"(ugh, pun) for he War Effort!

A 1944 minted in 1954 would be an error and so would a typo. 1944 design of the times. Also a piece of war history as variety 1 (Bronze) coins resumed production from spent cartridge cases during war time. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
