<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 603761, member: 66&quot;]The dates on the shield nickels were punched in using a single four digit logotype punch so all four digits go as a group.&nbsp; That projection at the lower left corner of the 8 is, I believe, the upper left serif or flag of the 1.&nbsp; That feature to the upper left of the 6 is from the left side of the 8.&nbsp; I don&#039;t really see traces of the 6, but if the 1 and 8 are in the positions I mention that would pretty much put the traces of the right side of the 7 where we see them on your coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I may have to retract my comment about it not being triple punched though.&nbsp; I still think that we are seeing MDD on the main date, but what is that up ABOVE the 1 and to the left of the ball???&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t show in the whole coin image, but shows clearly in the close up of the 186 picture.&nbsp; It is in the wrong position to be the curl on the shield, and the shape looks to be perfect for the top of another 1.&nbsp; The flag and curve up the top of the 1 are clearly defined.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is looking like it may have been triple punched with two of the punching being WILDLY off, and in different directions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
