<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 864319, member: 15199&quot;]The logotype ended with the RPD of Indian Head Cents. The date was on the master hub for the year, and precludes any alternative digit in any year date. It also eliminates any mint produced slant, as the working die would have the digit in the incluse to strike it standing, and any alteration would produce evidence of the original digit and any gouge caused slanted digit. So it is definitively post mint damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doubled dies can cause doubled digits, but that mechanism is well understood and documented, and doesn&#039;t alter the shape of the digit.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;1958/7&quot; overdate cent listed in Breen&#039;s has been hghly indicated to be a die gouge rather than an overdate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
