<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 26610940, member: 77413&quot;]I’m baffled! No matter how you rotate a punch when you hold it, an N still looks like an N. Where do you even buy a backwards N punch? From the same store that sells left-handed monkey wrenches?</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, after a web search, I see that reverse letter punches are used whenever the workpiece is used to then punch (or impress) a final product. Like dies that then punch out coins. So the diemaker must have been missing his reverse N in that larger font, and made do with a regular N punch. This would have been OK for punching an N into leather or wood, but got reversed again when the die struck the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dang, you made me think and now my head hurts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
