What was the last US coin to have the dies created with individual punches, rather than hubbed?

Veridicus · November 26, 2003 2:21PM

no guesses?

MacCrimmon · November 26, 2003 2:48PM

Not including the punching of dates?

For legends, etc., I'll guess 1839 Booby Head LC.

Veridicus · November 26, 2003 2:51PM

Yes, not including dates, sorry, I should have been clear.

It's not the 1839 however.

Wasn't it 1836 when hubbing started? I think the 1836 Large cent was the last

Veridicus · November 26, 2003 5:34PM

Actually, hubbing attempts go all the way back to the 1794 Half Cent reverse. The 1836 isn't the answer.

I'll take a stab at it with the 1840 no drapery half dime
