[QUOTE="JBGood, post: 1954568, member: 38987"]I'm a little foggy about how this coin came to be. The original design had an eagle with 8 tail feathers on the reverse and it was decided to change this to 7 tail feathers as this better reflects eagle tail reality. The foggy part: instead of making new dies they made a new tail die and impressed over the old tail? I obviously need die making 101 but would appreciate the short answer.[/QUOTE]
