okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5590 Posts	Posted 08/28/2019 4:10 pm Well, if there were 19 Reverse dies made, then handpunching the final 9 would result in 19 specific placements for the 9 and wide/narrow/kinda normal full date widths. Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5590 Posts	Posted 08/29/2019 1:24 pm Yes, I think that it's a different variety as well. Report this Post to the Staff
rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 09/12/2019 9:25 pm Hounddog Bill I did and overlay of your coins. what I found out quickly. your coins was photographed separately . once I realized that. using my overlay program. I populated your coin images. so that they are the exact same size. you have a wide date with out a doult. spp ottawa knows how to do overlays. this is not wrong here is the image.

Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1223 Posts	Posted 09/13/2019 6:37 pm I can't say I understand just what your doing rocky but I appreciate your time and effort. Not sure how it effects your overlay but the coins were photographed together. Thanks again! Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 09/13/2019 6:54 pm Hounddog Bill it must be when I separated them. any way you have a wide date and narrow date. the overlay proves that without a doult. you have a very nice variety there you have a great one Hounddog Bill. ps those are out standing pictures. I like how you got them perfectly aligned. even in the overlay. I could see the differences in the tops on the number 5. well done Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5590 Posts	Posted 09/13/2019 7:19 pm Rocky .... There will be nothing like a "wide and narrow date". The last digit was handpunched into the working die, so you will have very close, close, kinda close, normal, kinds wide, wide, very wide, and very very wide, let alone the highs, lows, or rotated slightly CW or CCW. As I said above, a handpunched final digit will have as many intricate spacings as there were working dies. Report this Post to the Staff
rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 09/13/2019 7:57 pm okiecoiner thank you I understand that. yes you are right. okiecoiner I found some marking on silver dollars. basicly they are like fins. okiecoiner would you mine if I posted some images later on. I would like to know your thoughts on these fins. I was thinking it would have been caused by the punch. thats when you come to my mind. would you be interested in helping. you would proably learn us all something. the fins are on one letter.

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5590 Posts	Posted 09/13/2019 8:38 pm You are better off looking for an "error" person to chime in. I'm a variety collector, but know many Error collectors .. they should set you straight. Report this Post to the Staff
