<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2613573, member: 19463"]I see no reason not to accept Curtis' explanation of the matter. Not all examples of this would have to involve two different types of reverse and it might be harder to spot examples where the second strike was made by a different die of the same type. Some I have seen show no movement on the obverse making the possibility of a simple overstrike less likely. Most seem to have one die axis at 12H and the other at 6H. Perhaps that has something to do with how the workers were arranged around the anvil and each was holding the die in the same orientation to his body rather than to the anvil??? Great coin! It would be on my top list for 2017 but you will probably do better several times over in the next 50 weeks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
