<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1093992, member: 21705&quot;]OK! I must do a Mia Culpa here. Looking at several higher grade specimens on the Heritage Archives produced this result:</p><p><br /></p><p>The photo interpretation of the dentil location must be adjusted as the die deteriorates. What appears to be the dentil location on the worn die is actually the gap. This would explain the apparent opposite effect where the worn die&nbsp; dentil location is always opposite the new die location.&nbsp; The Scratch or break I observed can be seen on both S-216s and S-221s and also missing on both. This would indicate a die state&nbsp; about the time of the switch of the reverses and not a different die.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also notice that some of the 8s seem to be larger on bottom and others on top, but the reason must be something to do with strike or wear since I don&#039;t see a a pattern any different than that of the scratch/break with some occurring on both S-216s and some S-221s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the mistake. I just get excited about this stuff and post well before the research is complete.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
