<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill in Burl, post: 6300472, member: 23692&quot;]All of the anomalies are pretty common on the &#039;81&#039;s.&nbsp; The hub(s) that made the dies suffered broken serifs and portions of letters as more and more dies were made.&nbsp; The hubs had raised elements just like old typewriter keys (if you&#039;re old enough to remember) and lots of small, thin sections broke off.&nbsp; Just remember that the hub was used to strike/make enough dies for all of the 4 million 1876&#039;s before making those for the 1881&#039;s and 2&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
