<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3495113, member: 66&quot;]Lettering up against the rim was not unusual for that era.&nbsp; The master hub was mushing and spreading out badly.&nbsp; As it spread the lettering moved further and further out from the center.&nbsp; Than when they would turn the dies down to the proper diameter the lettering was crowding into the rim.&nbsp; Finally in 1969 they junked the old master die and created a brand new one with lower relief, smaller bust, and the lettering moved in closer to the center.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
