    Keep in mind "LIBERTY" is an incused design feature of the nickel and based on my analysis of all four (Normal "B" business strike, Proof, Broken "B" business and Proof) the position of the date is static.

    Yes. It takes several hubbings to create a working die, which is how we can get design hub doubling. An unfinished 1908 obverse die could only be made into a 1909 die by being hubbed with a 1909 working hub, as there's no date punch anymore. The effect on LIBERTY clearly shows multiple designs. This happened on 1878 Morgan dollars, too, as they changed the obverse design a couple times during the year.

    @KBBPLL . i have started my collection. last night at Heritage I won a 1906-D barber dime in AU.
    I will have to get the coin in hand but i am hoping it is FS-10-1906-D -303 (10C-010.089) from the Cherrypickers guide.
