[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3011586, member: 8959"]Yes, I think as well that axial misalignment (misaligned dies) is the most probable cause. As mentioned, of the 73 S-278's listed in the HA archives, at most 4 show this feature on the coin, so yes, this indicates that the press operator discovered this fairly quickly and proceeded to correct the die misalignment. If this is the case, in my opinion the die state of all such 'misaligned die' coins should be similar - but here I venture into a territory that I do not master well (if at all). Aren't early coppers just fascinating?[/QUOTE]
