<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2015167, member: 19463&quot;]Yes, all this shows is that the last use of the reverse die was after the majority of the IIC coins had been made.&nbsp; What we do not know is whether the die remained in use for most of that span of time or if it was returned to service after a period of retirement.&nbsp; A lot of this might be easier to understand if we knew how much time is covered here.&nbsp; My guess is that the whole AVG to COSI period was only a few months (December 193 to February 194, perhaps) before things settled down and the dies were all COS II.&nbsp; In addition to the dies and style, we also have to consider the fabric of the coins and other possible clues.&nbsp; Finally, while I agree that these coins came from one mint, it really is not proven since it remains possible that a mint might be closed and personnel and equipment transferred to the other location.&nbsp; We may never know but we can still enjoy manipulating the data to see what works.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
