<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nesvt, post: 109247, member: 1749&quot;]Doubling on the date digits is fairly common.&nbsp; I use it more as a die marker to determine the die pairing... and VAM.&nbsp; I agree with GD about the overdate.&nbsp; You would see part of the digit underneath.&nbsp; For 1880-O&#039;s, there are some with overdates on the second 8 and the 0 (8/7, 80/79).</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure about the 1921&#039;s, but for earlier Morgans, each digit was punched separately.&nbsp; There are VAM varieties with dashes under a digit or part of a digit in the denticles.&nbsp; It&#039;s believed these were used as alignment guides to properly position each number as it was being punched.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also think GD is a closet VAM collector.&nbsp; He probably has hoards of Morgans and looks at them all night long with a 16x loupe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
