[ATTACH=full]979375[/ATTACH] I have seen coins that suggest to me the elephant was struck by the anvil die but have not handled enough coins to be serious on the matter. If I were to put interest and effort into these coins, I would first want to know the cause of the very different elephant styles to be found. Is this an elephant obverse due to edge of reverse die showing on the implements side? [URL]https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=355687[/URL][/QUOTE]
