Since the &quot;D&quot; is raised, the part making it is recessed. The edges of this recessed part wears, and abrades during use, producing a slight raised area around the &quot;D&quot; when striking. This can often be very confusing, but a repunch of a Mint mark punch remains the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>The letter in the buffaloes is the same type of cause.&nbsp; IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
