<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2550441, member: 112&quot;]What you were trying to find out, and what I was trying to find out - are two different things, but that are related. I got my answer, you got your answer to your original question. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your additional question, who made the punches ? I dunno. Rather obviously the mint had the capability to make them because they had engravers on staff. But I could understand the mint using an outside source as a supplier for letter and/or number punches for mint marks and dates because of their simplicity. Tell your source what kind of size &amp; font you want and order however many you want. And while it would be an interesting little detail to know, it&#039;s also one that really wouldn&#039;t matter much.</p><p><br /></p><p>But gang punches that incorporate any part of the design, I suspect the mint would never use an outside source for that, but insist that their own engravers them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
