<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 2093128, member: 11786&quot;]Thanks!&nbsp; And I count at least a dozen individual marks--just from this picture. It&#039;s been estimated the date may have been punched 4 times into the denticles--that&#039;s 16 digits! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I consider MPDs in denticles or the bust as just too far off to be a deliberate dating of the die. It&#039;s thought they were testing the die hardness between hubbings, as the die must be annealed in a furnace between impressions to re-soften the steel.
