<p>[QUOTE="coppermania, post: 1537222, member: 18304"]Rick Snow's guide to Indian Cent varieties states that digits weren't actually hammered in by hand like one might think but a dial down screw press was used on these issues while the dies where annealed. Also that the miss-placed digits found in the series was a "test" of the dies hardness as they thought nobody would notice. For further info check out all the volumes that he has produced. I don't know if that is the case for other for other issues.</p><p>Matt[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
