Ugh, 1984's in general are so crappy.

 

They are, what they are .

 

Just another day of variety hunting ...

 

In '84 there was. 1982 and 1983 were the "no set" years. 1984 was the beginning of colorful envelope mint sets.

 

I'm not so sure I see an absolute match, but your presentation is very nice.

 

Anybody have any ideal why they strike this die ( reverse ) in such a late die state ? The one I posted, must be a stage G ..

 

I have an idea. 1984 was the year of maximum growth after the "Malaise" mini-recession. More demand for coins for commerce than before. Demand led to working the dies longer.

 

Just encase anybody interested .
Here's the images ( originals ) before I cropped them .
