<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HawkeEye, post: 2768142, member: 86305&quot;]This was an interesting question to ask, but for there to be any &quot;excess dies&quot; with identical markings the mark on the cheek would have to have existed on a master die or working hub and that seems unlikely.&nbsp; But a good question to ask, or at least something to think through.&nbsp; If it occurred it seems to me that Philadelphia would have to have created the dies and distributed to both Mints.&nbsp; But this is also unlikely since there was quality control along the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>We also assume that the TPG graders are knowledgeable about dies, and I don&#039;t think that is true.&nbsp; It seems to me that they often have tunnel vision and evaluate the coin in front of them and not look for outside the box issues.&nbsp; Maybe if they all VAMmed a wider variety of coins these type overlap issues would stand out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
