<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 117661, member: 1242&quot;]SuperDave,</p><p><br /></p><p>I was wondering that myself but think that I figured out why! As the Die gets worn and has to be ground and polished, the Mint workers probably grind and polish the area in and around the Mint Mark. Since the Primary and Secondary Mint Marks are incuse on the Die and the Secondary has to be more fragile than the Primary, the channel of the crossbar of the &quot;S&quot; apparently gets chipped off somewhat which widens the channel and thus a thicker crossbar.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
