To me it looks slightly different to the first one, I can't imagine it's meant to be different to the first one? Or have I just been looking at coins for far too many hours today?!#129321; Report this Post to the Staff

In the US die were often produced design element by design element which is why there are varieties caused by the relative placement of the varying design elements. One part would be the date. The date would be created as a whole (all 4 numbers one one punch). Thus the person who created the punch didn't quite cut the two 3's exactly the same. Remember, this is ONLY a guess.

Nevertheless, kanga is basically right. It is interesting to note that all four digits are different in the two pictures. That suggests that each digit was individually cut.

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 06/01/2019 04:03 am I don't know if anyone has studied 1933 penny date varieties too closely but I think the master dies at least were produced from 193_ tools, so a different last digit isn't out of the question.
