    I have 10 circulated rolls of these. Looks like it's time to break them out.
    With initials like "SDP" I was destined to end up collecting coins

      - Was there only one die known to have inverted S? and it is of the Ball Serif type?
      - "Normal" is with ball serif on top, and "Inverted" is with ball serif on bottom, correct?

      Thanks...Ray
      Yes, 3 punches. As of now, only one die was inverted and it was a ball serif. And yes you would know as the ball would be lower and the upper would have that flat spot. The inverted die BJ found just so happened to be punched at an angle to the die surface (tilted) making the ball less visible.
