[QUOTE="900fine, post: 837851, member: 6036"]It's possible. Yes, it did happen in earlier days. I have not heard of any occasions of that practice as late as 1847, but anything's possible. I thought about this... but if they went to the trouble to lap the dies, why did they only grind out [I]some[/I] of the die cracks ? Maybe they started lapping, smoothed out the STAT die crack (which was light), then gave up on the heavier ones. That would be fabulous, of course. I doubt it, since the die cracks that I do have match N-23. The problem is I don't have [I]all[/I] the cracks one expects on an N-23. In this case, I'm [I]not[/I] seeing things which [I]should[/I] be there ! ;)[/QUOTE]
