    Is it me, or do these two 6's look different? Maybe they are supposed to be... 1966pobverse.jpg

    Chewmassa Now where could my pipe be?

    The first 6 definitely seems to curl in further. It looks like machine or deterioration doubling to me though.

    There are prob other dies from this year where the 6's are more similar.
    I don't think there's anything unusual here. I assume these dates are hand engraved on the working dies? So they are not going to be exactly the same all the time.
    Maybe the process has changed in the last 50 years.

    Here is the IGWT... I did not see the separation in the letters until I took the photo of the letters. All the letters when looking at them are just "fat". When I look straight down from the top of the letters, I then see separation... hope this makes sense... IGWTcrop.jpg

    Looks like some extra thickness IMO.

    Thanks for the link, I did try to match up with the images but, the only one that matched up for sure was the 66 in the year... keeping it anyway.
    Thanks for all the comments.
