Also, on the date and TRUST, there are area&#039;s where the spread is not enough to show separation, but instead just shows as a thicker number or letter.</p><p><i><u><font face="verdana">[SIZE=-1]<span style="color: black"></span></font></u></i></p><p><i><u><font face="verdana"><span style="color: black">A nice rotated repunched mintmark that shows on the top serif and below the primary mintmark.</span>[/SIZE]</font></u></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>The mintmark when hit with the second blow, was slightly rotated in the hand of the person and shows as a second image on the top serif (projection of letter).....sometimes seen as a statement&quot; notching of serif&quot;... and also the bottom edge of the second mm shows under the primary one.</p><p><br /></p><p><i><font face="verdana">[SIZE=-1]<span style="color: black"><u>A nice CW spread pivoted from K-5 shows nicely in LIBERTY and IN GOD WE.
