<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 376853, member: 2972&quot;]p.s. the repunching is almost exactly the same as yours BECAUSE THE SAME LETTER PUNCHES WERE USED TO IMPRESS THE LETTERS IN THE TWO DIES -- think about it, then look CLOSELY at the outline around the letters and you&#039;ll see the evidence with your own two eyes.&nbsp; Remember, these were handmade instruments, so they have pecularities.&nbsp; For instance, look under the crossbar in the A at the outline on your coin and mine -- you&#039;ll notice the shape is exactly the same.&nbsp; For a second example, look at the lower left side of the left upright of N, you&#039;ll notice a small chiplike shelf above the serif.&nbsp; These unique characteristics can be used to identify the particular punches used to impress the letters, and in this case show the same punch was used.&nbsp; If you look at lots of examples of these coins across the years you can even see when these punches were damaged, repaired, and eventually replaced.</p><p><br /></p><p>PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read up on how these coins were made, because until you do, it is very difficult to have a conversation on these topics with you.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Hell, if you PM me your address, I&#039;ll mail you my copy of Breen if you promise to return it when you&#039;re done -- just so I don&#039;t have to argue with you any more.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Respectfully....Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
