<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 26516069, member: 1765"]Does the depth of the date on the two different varieties give us any clues? We know that the normal B hub contained the date, because it's only seen for 1909. We don't know if any BBB hub contained 1909. We also know that hubs for 1908 didn't contain the date. If a Broken BBB coin has a weaker date (compare with stars, I guess), that could indicate that the die was started with an undated hub. When a normal B 1909 hub was used to finish the die, it was the only hub to impress the date on the die. The date wouldn't have been impressed into the die as much as it would have had the die been hubbed only with a normal B, dated hub.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
