<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1169261, member: 19463"]Thanks. There is currently a great deal of controversy in the Ancient Coin community as to when and to what degree dies were made with mechanical processes (hubbing) but I believe most have used it since the time of Russian Wire money and my page is worthless for hubbed die issues. The same thing that makes die linking possible also makes ancients impossible to grade. If made with individually cut dies, one Indian cent die might lose the L in Liberty first after almost no wear while another might start in the middle after the whole eye was missing. Mechanically reproduced dies and machine presses make things so very predictable (some of us might even say 'boring').[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
