<p>[QUOTE="mikem2000, post: 1422230, member: 30574"]I am not really getting your point. While O.116 was created with the reworked hubs, it is my understanding that the letters are stamped into the dies, not the hubs, so that makes little sense to me why the A would be weak because of the hubs. I have also seen countless CBH's of all dates with the same general weakness around A1 and the ribbon. I always thought the cause was the explanation HOBO provided, the heavy portions of the bust on the obverse starve the reverse of the needed metal. So the area in question is greatly effected from a weak strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just trying to learn something if I missed anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
