<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 428190, member: 15199&quot;]...But not on the ball of the design over the 8.&nbsp; I&nbsp; would suggest the possiblity it is 2 different date punchings. There just seems too much difference in the size of the underlying and overlying 7 serif, etc. There is a FS#5-009 which is a large date 1873 over small date open 3,shield, but this isn&#039;t it. The different size date is suspected to be from a 3 cent CN or 1/2 dime according to the CPG. So maybe this is a similar situation, although it looks like a small date over a large date.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
