<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2251571, member: 15199&quot;]Before they directly engraved the date on the dies, but used a device where number punches ( forget the name of the device) were aligned by hand and used to punch the dies, like some of the half cent and cent, and higher values, error were made such as 1824/22 large cent, large 1820/small 181, and even a very popular 1828/88 large cent,&nbsp; and others. Once the date was engraved directly, such large disparities became less. But I agree with Kurt that their intent was to only go up one year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
