Nice looking wheat... If memory serves me correct there were also some re-engraved/retouched dies for 1952 (As well as other years) that shows up on the forehead like yours does... As for a master listing of MDDs I wish I knew where it was located I could sure use it!!!

Thanks for chiming in Bob... That really helps a lot!!!

Excellent! Thank you SO much Bob for this information! A sticky it is...

[jfines69]

I made this thread a sticky and moved it to Error Examples... Hope that is the correct forum!!!

Just wanted to elucidate something about Bob's post. Please note that a good number of these on that list are just crappy engraving jobs, and not actual doubling of the master die. That is just one of those terms we have let get away from us a little bit.

Thanks everybody for all the help on this and educating me much more than you know!! Thanks for ramrodding this Viv! Thank you Bob for all of the help and this list too that will help greatly in the future! Thanks you Jim and Will on the re-engraving tidbit too, I'm familiar with it in Morgans but that never crossed my mind on this guy.

Sure is nice having the MDD info all in one place. It's been a while since I tried looking up MDD info, and can't remember where I found it previously.
