<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 26504578, member: 1765&quot;]The change in the shape of the B (and more subtly other letters) was probably meant to be a permanent change to the model. It could be that in 1910 it was decided to make that year&#039;s master die from an undated (1908) working hub, as that would have been easier than removing the date from a 1909 working hub and making a new master die that way.&nbsp; The beer belly B therefore returned in 1910, then in 1911 they got the process for creating a dated master die down, using a 1910 working hub to start with.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The proof 1909 with the broken B looks like design hub doubling. This is especially apparent at the bottom of the I.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
