<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 2535074, member: 13307&quot;]Hey everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, things have quieted down and I&#039;ve gotten a chance to image a few new coins from a show this weekend.&nbsp; One in particular is catching my eye:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]542331[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I am aware that the 1933 shows (on <a href="http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4382.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4382.html" rel="nofollow">Numista</a>) that there are some &quot;fallen date&quot; varieties where the last digits of the date drop down, but it doesn&#039;t mention them for any other dates.&nbsp; If we take a closer look at the date of this 1934, we see two interesting items of note.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]542330[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>First, we can see that the 4 of the date is rotated and looks like a possible 4/4.&nbsp; Holding the coin in hand, I can see a clear separation between the main body of the 4 and the underlying crossbar of the second 4.&nbsp; There is also evidence of another 1 under the first digit.</p><p><br /></p><p>We can also see that the digits of the date do not evenly line up.&nbsp; I&#039;ve added a couple parallel lines to help demonstrate, using the top of the highest digit (the 9) as a guide:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]542332[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>So, my question to my fellow Mexican collectors - what do you think is going on with this coin, and have you seen previous similar examples?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
