[QUOTE="Fred Weinberg, post: 3574748, member: 86437"]Pete, I've enjoyed the discussion too - and I've learned from your article, and posts here. I'm sorry, but I can't use the term 'Likely' on those cent photos. Question: if those cents are RT coins, how come they are so rare? Wouldn't every coin struck from those RT dies show the circular indentations? In theory, like die cracks, and other re-occurring die errors, there should be many, many hundreds, if not many thousands, of examples found in BU rolls and Bags. They are not - they're only found in circulation. (as far as I know) If they spotted the first few coins struck from those Dies, so that there are only a few from each RT Die, why didn't they spot that specific die, with the RT mark in open field, and pull it? It should stick out like a sore thumb if a new die had an easily seen indentation on it, in the open fields, before it was placed in the die set up operation. Just a thought.... (Also, I'm leaving my office in about 10 minutes, so I might not reply again till early tomorrow morning)[/QUOTE]
