<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harley bissell, post: 3721408, member: 88212&quot;]Nor did they care but the reason that the dies had the &quot;wrong&quot; date is politicians who ordered that all coins bear their date of manufacture. At the end of the year any unused dies had to either be discarded or reworked. I applaud their reworking as a cost saving measure. If a similar thing is being done these days I haven&#039;t heard about it. I would agree that the 1841/81 cents and the ones where a number was upside down or in the wrong place were starting with defective dies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
