jaggy Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Is this coin die number 7 or die number 70. The 7 is very clear but there seems to be a faint 0 next to it. Is this just a mark or a very weakly struck 0? I cannot make my mind up and would value opinions. Quote

Bearing in mind die numbers were part of the mint's 'blame culture' it was in the employee's interest to make it as indistinct as possible! Quote

jaggy Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 Thanks to all for the opinions. I had the coin as Die 70 in my records but, looking at it again, I found myself second-guessing that original opinion. Quote
