<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2729050, member: 1892&quot;]Do we have an idea how many working dies an average working hub could create? That would be a good clue as to how many hubs a master die could impress.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to Wexler, 1886-ish was when IHC lettering was transferred to the galvano; prior to this, the peripheral letters were part of a single punch. Don&#039;t know how this relates to Morgan production, aside the inference that the larger sizes of the features involved would lend themselves to easier implementation of new processes than the smaller Cents. And rotation of the stars would imply a similar rotation of the rest of the lettering relative to the central device, confirmation of which would help inform knowledge of the creation process.</p><p><br /></p><p>With all that said, I&#039;m unsure how the introduction of CAD tracing into a research process perfectly attainable via purely optical/imaging methods could be anything but an additional opportunity for error.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
