<p>[QUOTE="justafarmer, post: 26516084, member: 3926"]The Beer Belly "B" undated Series master Hub was was initially brought forward for 1909 to produce the 1909 master die. The mint then punched/engraved the date into this master die to produce a 1909 master die containing the date. This is the same process done for all existing coin designs (Nickel, Dime, Quarter. Half and probably the Indianhead Cent beginning in 1909). For the nickel the damage to the "B" originates on the 1909 master die. Probably before it was used to produce any working hubs. That is why we can't find any Unbroken Beer Belly "B"s in 1909.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
