<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 8430687, member: 4920"]This is when the dates weren't on the hubs. Just like on the mint marks, they were punched into the dies. I had always thought they fill the "underdates," first, try to "plug" them up, then punch in the overdates. As they're recessed on the dies, that would appear to make sense. Certainly they wouldn't file or polish anything down, these devices, raised on the hubs, are sitting down, or "incuse," on the dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>But that's I guess where I check out. I would really like to have it validated, though, precisely how overdates and overmarks happen. Your question is a big success, thus far, and we've the experience to answer that, right here. So answer it, you guys. Or I'm going to come looking for you. And I'm bringing Paddy with me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
