<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2500230, member: 66&quot;]Starting in 1798 the mint was experimenting with trying to hub the entire reverse die.&nbsp; About half of the 1798&#039;s and all of the 1800 reverses were created using a hub that contained all of the design details.&nbsp; The mint did not have sufficient power to bring up all of the shallowest details completely though so some of the details like the berry stems, the wreath stems, the fraction bar, and sometimes even the berries were touched up by hand.&nbsp; These hand touchups and die failures are the only way to tell the different reverses apart.&nbsp; On worn coins it can be VERY difficult.&nbsp; The 1800 cents are probably the most difficult ones to attribute unless you have high grade coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
