<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 4110109, member: 84179"][USER=102096]@Avery G.[/USER] The big question is: How could the mint put the wrong letter on a die? Answer: It can’t!! The mint does not punch individual letters into dies. They stopped this in the early 1800s. </p><p><br /></p><p>Remember, a working die is made from a working hub which is made from a master die, which all starts with a master hub. You can’t have a different letter on a working die if it isn’t on the master hub, and if it’s on the master hub, then EVERY die will be like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please take the time to study how dies are made. <a href="http://www.doubleddie.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.doubleddie.com/" rel="nofollow">WWW.doubleddie.com</a> has a good explanation and the Mint as well as the CoinWeek have educational videos (yes, these are a few youtube videos that are worth watching).
