<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 1919581, member: 44357&quot;]I don&#039;t know of many, and I do wonder if the minted coins were instead taken from one mint to another to &quot;share&quot; the design, and then copied visually. Perhaps with a special issue like this one, the engravers were not confident enough in their ability to duplicate the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is very historically interesting to think about the process by which the die would have been brought between mints. I presume under very heavy guard to prevent anyone from intercepting and minting counterfeits with legitimate dies, or perhaps that&#039;s why they only brought the obverse die and left the reverse to be re-engraved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
