<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 81315, member: 66&quot;]Justafarmer, on a pre 1909 US coin never use the date to decide if a coin is a doubled die.&nbsp; Before 1909 the date was added by hand so you can have a doubled die with no doubling on the date at all, or a doubled date on a coin that is not from a doubled die.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the dates on the Indianhead cents was added by a four digit &quot;gang punch&quot; also known as a logotype punch.&nbsp; About the only time when a two digit logotype punch was used was around 1840, and then only on a few dies.&nbsp; Before that it was individual punches, 1840 and later it was logotype punches (with very few exceptions) until 1909 when they started putting the date on the master hub.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
