<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 554045, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>No Problemo<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I kinda figured that was the case<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think what they were explaining could be a book so I&#039;ll try to encapsulate it a little bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is going to be very general with a lot of steps left out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Things called hubs, that look like coins on the end of a chunk of steel are used to make dies.&nbsp; In 1909 (one or two exceptions in 1909 on a gold coin, for example)&nbsp; or so all hubs had full dates on them.&nbsp; That means that when a die is made,&nbsp; the full date is on the die right from the very beginning.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t add single digits to a die.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1943/1942 P nickel and the 1942/1941 P and D dimes, for example were not instances where a single number was punched in over another single number.&nbsp; They were instances where two completely different dated hubs were used to create dies.&nbsp; They are technically doubled dies with full dates and details involved, one on top of another.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because the process uses full dates,&nbsp; there would have to be an instance where a 1934 hub would have to be used in conjunction with a 1944 hub to produce what you think you have.&nbsp; In an abbreviated form, leaving out a ton of detail,&nbsp; it just doesn&#039;t happen that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore there is no way to have a 3 under the 4.&nbsp; It&#039;s not possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>What is possible is damage that causes our eyes to think that we are really looking at something else.&nbsp; It happens all the time.&nbsp; A classic example would be 1940 cents that have been damaged by coin rolling and counting machines that damaged the 0 making the thing look like a 1941 over a 1940.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t exist although we can easily imagine it to be the case when we see a coin with a damaged digit. </p><p><br /></p><p>As I said,&nbsp; I left out a ton of detail pertaining to master hubs, master dies,&nbsp; working hubs, working dies and more but this gives you the general gyst of the thing<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this helps.</p><p><br /></p><p>have Fun,</p><p>Bill</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
