<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coop, post: 579079, member: 17656&quot;]The date is on the master die. The individual digits are not hand punched. Only 19th Century coins from the U.S. digits were hand punched. The 20th Century coins the hubs transferred the obverse devices to the dies. In this case a 1941 hub and a 1942 hub were miss takenly used to over date this die. Thus making an over date die and striking over dated coins. The mark looks like a gouge and the die flow lines near the date makes it appear to be something that the mind picks up on. If it were an extra one all the other devices would be present making this coin look double struck. On letter isn&#039;t possible to be raised from the die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
