The engraver literally hits the punch with a hammer to create the mintmark - if the hammer bounced, or if the punch bounced, it would create a second image. Also, if the engraver decided he had rotated the letter too much, or put the letter in the wrong spot, he might try again. This all happened before the die was hardened.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
