[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 3575706, member: 46237"]Yeah I feel the same way. I discovered that I inadvertently had at least one of these "replacement" coins in my type set (probably more), from the 1946 government sold mint sets. The one I could tell was a replacement was because they accidentally used a reverse die that had only been used on the pattern version of the coin (a slightly different number punch was used on the 6, and there were some minor spacing differences between that and production dies). So it's a coin from a 1946 mint set but it was struck around 1965. That's only 19 years later, it's not like a restrike of a classic coin, this is still a modern coin.[/QUOTE]
