<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave Waterstraat, post: 2500109, member: 75818&quot;]I&#039;ve been on board with the theory that these dies were re-purposed because they were not needed by the San Francisco mint. I&#039;ll bet they had a person or persons employed who really knew how to dial in the planchet feeding systems therefore avoiding die clash events that would have shortened the life of the dies. Looking at the early S mint Morgans from a VAM standpoint there are not very many clashed die listings. I believe this would be the same scenario for the 1880 over date dies. They just were not needed in 1879, but I&#039;ll bet they produced an abundance because of what they went through in the first year or so. Cool stuff to think about for sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
