coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/26/2019 8:23 pm Are you talking about the mint mark locations? If so they were hand punched into the dies until 1990, when there were then part of the design of the master die for each mint. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 02/26/2019 10:04 pm "the bottom of the 7 goes below the zero 2 different lengths" - I don't see a discernible difference. Perhaps the proximity of the S causes an optical illusion? Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: if neither is a small date there are 2 different large date dies,same mint Couldn't say specifically the number of working dies used in production that year. Can say the number was many times greater than two. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 02/27/2019 11:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
