Possible Misplaced Digit |
Obverse
7 is identified by a possible misplaced digit in the denticles below the second 8 of the date, with date placement at LH.
Reverse F is rotated 5 degrees counter clockwise.
Comments:
During late October 2016, Ed Nathanson submitted the above plate
coin for inclusion in this book based on the possible misplaced digit
of obverse 7. Upon inspection of the coin, I determined the coin
wa struck from a previously identified die pairing that was discovered
by Bill Van Note. Although I did not find any satisfactory
results from performing digit punch overlays, the anomaly in the
denticles may have occurred from a single digit impession.
Without any definitive evidence to indicate an actual digit
impression, the obverse 7 denticle anomaly must be attributed as a
possible misplaced digit.
