There was even a repro</p><p>of the 1847 Gothic Crown. It just doesn&#039;t make sense that someone would make</p><p>make repros of 1949 quarter&nbsp; or that they would use what looks to a well worn</p><p>Morgan as a host for transfer dies. Unless this is the work a collector who finally</p><p>went over the edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>But they set a gap between dies to try and prevent die clashes if there is a mis-feed.</p><p>They would also do test strikes to make sure the gap is no too much and that they</p><p>are getting a good strike. The Morgan you have may have been a lead trial used </p><p>for the first test and the gap was too much and it left a light impression.&nbsp; Lead and</p><p>and copper are common metals for die trials.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
