<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 6597725, member: 101855&quot;]That is because the date was entered on the die as four digits in a separate operation. On modern coins the date is part of the working hub that is used to sink the die in one operation. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes errors do occur. The two 1942 over 1 dime overdate coins happened at the end of a year. It takes three blows from the hub to make a die. When the workers were preparing these dies, the first blow put the &quot;1941&quot; date on the die. One or two of the second blows put the date &quot;1942&quot; on it. Hence you ended up with overdate coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
