The both mints P & D are not far one from the other, so because I am not pros with the photos I will post only "P". Please look at the AM, ME and the R in America. Seem to be different dies. 1.I refer to the link between A & M, the oval created. 2. The link between M & E also 3. The end of the R down near I Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/11/2021 03:22 am The die polishing alters the shallow sub devices. So on the bases of the devices, some shallow designs are removed from the die. Removing the fields shortens the height, removes the base design on these quarters. The top two images are from on die, the bottom two are from a different die, or different die state. ( the missing die scratches is the determining factor to my answer) The 'R' is smaller from die polishing. Edited by coop 03/11/2021 03:27 am Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 03/11/2021 03:33 am Thank you, you confirm my supposition that the mint do not use only one master die for strike. will be nice to know how many they used, like this example notes or stamps ( the plates) we can assembly an year strike.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96127 Posts	Posted 03/11/2021 8:37 pm Well of course they are different dies.. one set in Philadelphia and one set in Denver.. It would be pretty hard to share their toys with that distance.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
