Does the artifact explanation assume then that they used the same date punches for eagles and double eagles? The dates do look to be about the same size font. I don't have any to physically measure, but the date looks relatively larger on the eagle, as it should/would if they use the same punches.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]514844[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
