<p>[QUOTE="Coin-Dude, post: 1604069, member: 42369"]I find this very interesting. Having a printing background, I think they should have used the same font for both 7's. Can someone explain why the mints would have different styles (fonts) for the 7's? It looks like there are 3 types of 7's used for the 70's pennies.</p><p>A shorter <b>7</b> was used in the early 70's followed by the longer <i>7</i> in '73/'74 and then the "peg leg" 7 in the '<i>7</i>7 series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
