<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 453039, member: 1242&quot;]johnny,</p><p><br /></p><p>Up until the early 1900&#039;s, all four digits of the Date were punched manually into the Working Dies.&nbsp; From 1909 into the mid-1980&#039;s, the first two digits of the Date were part of the Galvano and the last two digits were still punched manually into the Working Dies. Then sometime in the mid-1980&#039;s, all four digits of the Date became a part of the Galvano and manual punching of any Date digits ended. Go to the link below for more information on RPD&#039;s:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.bakercoins.net/learn/variety/rpd/index.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bakercoins.net/learn/variety/rpd/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bakercoins.net/learn/variety/rpd/index.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The above, is one reason why that with any U.S. coins dated before the mid-1980&#039;s, the positioning of the digits in the Date can vary sometimes significantly from one working Die to the next! Combine the above with positioning problems when transferring the details and lettering from one Die to the next (Master Die to Master Hub, Master Hub to Working Hub, Working Hub to Working Die), this can significantly effect where the date is punched into the Working Dies since the details and lettering may be shifted further from the rim on one side or the other.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am probably wrong about the coin being a 1912-D but that is what it looks like to me! Also, I am hoping that you can understand from the above, that every 1922-D or even a 1912-D Cent will more than likely have different positioning of the digits in the Date and that the Date can be further to the East, West, North or South from one coin to the next!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
