What does K-4 mean? Is it a location of a mark or a location on a coin? I as this for a 1941 P Lincoln. Also were there different 4's used in the date? Some of the 4's I have are different size in width. Some are fat and some are thin.

Thank's


Rhubarb

Rhubarb,
The K designation is like looking at a clock face, with K-4 meaning the point of interest or pivot point is at the 4 o'clock position on the coin.

As far as the width of the 4 in the date, they normally get fatter with die wear and use. There was only one type of 4 used in 41 as far as I know.

Bob,

I re-read Chuck's book, It didn't sink in the first time.

We don't sweat the small stuff here David. As long as your question got answered.
