[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 9896606, member: 4920"]Where's the rest of that other FE on that obverse? There's why that theory doesn't make any sense to me. I think what we need to do is understand the date-punching process. Supposing this date-punch were punched over denticles by mistake. It was just punched too low on the die, leaving this deformation. The date-punch, [I]itself[/I], is now deformed. That same date-punch was then punched onto another die, as here, in the proper position. There we got it. This was simply a deformed date-punch that was subsequently put to use on another die. Think struck-through [I]date-punch[/I] as opposed to struck-through coin. There used to be members here who knew how these dates were affixed. If anybody would have any such idea, today, I'd think it would be our big guy. As such, tagging [USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] on this. Does this, a deformed date-punch, make sense? Then you can go, Doug. :)[/QUOTE]
