[QUOTE="kanga, post: 4131876, member: 9270"]My "repunched or recut" statement was in reference to the dies used to strike coins. It was wartime and steel was important to the production of items for the military. So instead of creating new dies the Royal Mint "repunched or recut" the existing dies (at least this is my conjecture). What I'm trying to determine is if my thinking is correct ... or at least in the ballpark. I've got two 1945 South Africa 3d coins that have different features but may fall under the same situation.[/QUOTE]
