<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 26145463, member: 43872"]You may well be right. It's much more than just that letter that is doubled, however. Much of the word "LEWISTON' below the date shows at least some signs of doubling. The E in the larger word Lewiston is prominently doubled, and some others show less obvious signs. The letters in IDAHO, especially the H and O are doubled. Because all the letters are not exactly the same appearance, such as the N, repunching comes to mind. But because there are so many of them, I have concluded there is a second pressing with a slightly modified hub rather than individual repunched letters. Unlike mint coins, I don't know enough about the manufacturing process for these private tokens. Was there even a hub involved, or was each die individually punched with letters? If the latter, then of course this is just a case of repunched letters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
