<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 360068, member: 1242&quot;]Doug,</p><p><br /></p><p>I was thinking about this very thing last night and this morning! Yes, Scott obtained and used the original Confederate Half Dollar Reverse Die. However, did Scott modify the Die after he obtained it to make his&#039; Restrikes distinguishable from the Originals. I have a feeling, theory or that old itch that tells you that he probably did modify the Die! In fact, if you count the buds on the upper side of the stalk there are only 7, while on the lower side there are 11 with the odd man out on the end of the main stem. Why 7 on one side and 11 on the other? I believe that it is quite possible that Scott may have added 2 buds to the lower side of the stem to make his&#039; Restrikes distinguishable from the Originals. Maybe someone has access to pictures of an actual original that they can post here but until then, I will still wonder if the originals had 17 or 19 buds!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
