<p>[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 3156233, member: 46237"]Different dies. Only some of the devices will be on the hub, the rest, including the date and mm are engraved on the die. As this was done by hand, different dies can have different spacing. These differences create die varieties. As die making has become more uniform on modern coins, it has become harder to tell coins struck from different dies apart, except when the dies deteriorate in different ways. There are still plenty of moderns with die varieties though (like the Washington quarter reverses for example).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
