<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 6323726, member: 101855&quot;]Each of the letters, numbers and stars that appear on the very early U.S. were punched into the die with individual tools. For that reason the spacing between the devices varies from one die to another. </p><p><br /></p><p>This 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar is a well-known variety among specialists. An interesting feature of this die is that the &quot;7&quot; in the date was punched over a &quot;1.&quot; When the die maker, who was probably Robert Scot, was punching in the date, he used the &quot;1&quot; twice. This is really only visible with a strong glass, but it is an interesting feature that reflects how the dies for these early U.S. coins were made. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1250618[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1250619[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1250620[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
