[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 7650931, member: 84179"]If you look At the die making process, you'll understand that letters and numbers aren't punched into individual dies. The mint starts with a master hub. It has all of lettering in place. In the past, the master hub would be used for years, but now they make a new one each year. Master dies are made from the master hub. Working hubs are made from a master die. Working dies (which strike the coins) are made from a working hub. The only place that a letter or number can be changed is on the Master Hub, and if that happens, then EVERY working die, and therefore, EVERY coin would have it. You're just seeing circulation damage Here is a good link explaining the die making process. [URL]https://www.doubleddie.com/58201.html[/URL][/QUOTE]
