<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1332089, member: 24633&quot;]There are a few of the 81-O with a doubled ear, and you should go to the VAMWorld site to check them against the various markers to see which is which. Simply showing a photo of the area of the doubling is not enough. You should compare the entire coin, both obverse and reverse, to see if the description and/or photos match.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dates were punched into the dies by hand using either a 2-digit, 3-digit or 4-digit logotype. The positioning of the date can vary, and is determined by counting the denticles to the right of the neck &quot;vee&quot;. A normal date placement is usually 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 denticles to the right, but there can also be &quot;very near&quot;, &quot;near&quot;, &quot;far&quot; &amp; &quot;very far&quot; placements. Again, you would have to check your coins against the VAMWorld listings for comparison.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
