No, that is Reverse deign #5, which appeared on the 1986-88 P,D, and proof. The reverse design #6 for 1989-92 P,D, proof and 1994-2008 Proof, it...
Grease filled die is the most likely. The grease can mix with metal particles and become very hard. If it fills the depression in the die that is...
yes, it is 1941P-1DO-001. but a photo of the front of Lincoln's nose down to vest might show the markers, although these photos pretty much...
When I first looked at it, it looked like a RPD, but as I look at the "repunch", the theory got hard to hold. I agree with your deterioration,...
Breens has a lot of information ( and some will say he made up part) and I have and use it for the descriptive parts and technical aspects of the...
