<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 7982606, member: 21705&quot;]I&#039;m generally good at spotting differences, but I don&#039;t see it.

It even happens with working hub dies before the first coin is struck as the working hub wears out. And this is before being circulated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both the 2 and the 8 are different punches, but the 8 difference becomes difficult to see as the die wears. The top o of the 8 is ever so slightly smaller on the small date, but you need a sharp example to ID it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
