<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2176077, member: 4781&quot;]Yes, the fantasy date IS a &quot;signature&quot;. The font style, size, and placement of the digits is as much a signature as an autograph. A small &quot;DC&quot; on the edge that might go unnoticed will not make any difference if the person isn&#039;t going to pay any attention to the obvious date.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, there are other &quot;signatures&quot; on the over-strikes. The &quot;1964-D&quot; Peace Dollar over-strikes, for example, have a particular and intentional re-punched &quot;D&quot; mint mark. My production blog indicates them. There were two production dies and both have re-punching. And both also have the fourth ray below &quot;ONE&quot;, as seen only on the 1921 high-relief, a few of the 1922 proof/prototype issues, and some of the 1935-S mintage.</p><p><br /></p><p>D/D/D (original punch to the left):</p><p><img src="http://www.moonlightmint.com/blog_1_files/image028.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>D/D (original punch inverted and placed far to the right):</p><p><img src="http://www.moonlightmint.com/blog_1_files/image010.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
