    I did a little reasarch and it seems that Hofer has a unique attribute.

    From the Carson City Coin Collector's of America website:

    "Hofer’s record, not only as superintendent, but during all of his years of employment at the mint, was impeccable. He was truly one of the men of finest character to serve at any mint in the United States. Hofer also has the distinction of being the only person, as far as is known, to have been at the Carson Mint when the first coins were struck in 1870, as well as when the last ones came off the press in 1893."

    At the Summer Seminar YN auction last year, Todd was my underbidder on what I'd call, incorrectly, splashers of cancelled obverse and reverse dies for the 1876-CC 20c. They were produced by Ken Hopple, curator of the Carson City Mint Museum.

    Sorry, no pictures. image
