<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coloradobryan, post: 2651491, member: 74172&quot;]Does anyone know of the denticles were milled after hubbing the die, gibbed with the die, or if a special tool was used to press them in at some point in the hubbing process? If they were milled, they should move in relation to design elements between dies, if hubbed from one year to the next, should remain fixed in relation to design elements from one year to the next. If pressed or milled into the hub, should be slightly different from one working hub to the next. Since I don&#039;t believe one working hub was used for proof dies and another for business strikes, and it&#039;s likely only a few dies were used for proof strikes most likely only when needed to strike a few hundred proof strikes to fill a quota for the month ( check out the monthly breakdown for proofs for any year in 19th century)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
