<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 1410362, member: 3726&quot;]Okay - somebody is wrong. In the numismatist I just received yesterday there is an article about Sarah Brown in the back.&nbsp; Part of the article quotes a 1894 letter that states the lady would file and adjust that number of pieces.&nbsp; According to the article adjusters(like Sarah Brown) would weigh each blank, if light they would toss them, if heavy they would file them using an 8 inch file.&nbsp; Then a second ground would look at them and toss those that did not meet mint specifications.&nbsp; So at least from the early 1880&#039;s to mid-1890&#039;s adjustments were still being used with files at US mint in San Fransisco.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I do agree that those do not look like mint adjustments, too parallel for me - but I am no expert on these.&nbsp; Just a humble old opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
