<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2782159, member: 19463&quot;]I am so happy to hear that some of us are getting enjoyment out of our hobby.&nbsp; In truth, we may never know for certain what the intent of the coin designer was with that die/cap thing.&nbsp; Cynics among us will point out that a design with the tools of a blacksmith would not sell as well as if we called them tools of the mint.&nbsp; They also might ask, &quot;Where&#039;s the hammer?&quot; We may never know but it is fun to study and does no harm to speculate as long as we realize that we are not always going to be right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
