I would say almost the size of the letter it self. Like you could add another 7.   10-31-2009, 09:25 PM   #8 (permalink) rockdude Coin Collector     Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: ca.

But the seven is not that far away as you ilistrate. I guess my mind was a little to exited. I have been told that the far seven is common.

I have been told that the far seven is common. Really? because I was going to say that a "far 7" is impossible. All the dies come from the same master hub and the date is on that master hub so the spacing on all the digits on every 1957 is the same (with very slight variations due to die polishing.) so if one had a "far 7" they would ALL have to be "far 7"'. __________________ Slab collector and researcher reported as of 12/29/06 132 companies 332 production varieties   11-04-2009, 04:19 AM   #15 (permalink) Siggi Palma Member     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Iceland,Reykjavik Posts: 78 Quote: Originally Posted by Conder101 Really? because I was going to say that a "far 7" is impossible.

All cents from 1957 seem to have this far away 7, I could have seen that my self in my bucket of cents It´s funny how your mind goes blank when you see something and you think it´s something you have never seen before.
