Then different sized fonts appeared in the incuse letters. And that is not to even address the boxiness at the outer edges of the letters, giving the letters a 3-D effect. I thought it was just the press forcing the coin edge outward as the press traveled down. But the after about the fifth roll, I see this S, the last one in Arkansas. It is clearly a different size. I am baffled. This is a single press coin. How in the world does a different sized font appear on a coin? A second font: Different size? I envisioned a whole second strike, which is ludicrous at the thought of it. I dismissed it out of hand, and I slept on it. And it returned to my mind again. Very puzzling.</p><p>I think the experts have done something Extraordinary in the creation of this coin design. By design, assembly, through the strike process, or in the use of their machines they have riddled us a whopper. This is an unusual strike riddle. We may just find out something very interesting about the presses or processes they are using. </p><p>I remember in one forum years ago an attributer said he had a handful of pennies pigeon-holed, some for years. He said that he had no idea what to make of them. Point is even the best in this trade get baffled, so we are right in there with them when we make our guesstimates. So everyone, good luck with this. I am flummoxed, but believe firmly.</p><p>2010SP1CLDDR1.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
