Summary
[edit]DescriptionUS Great Seal 1877 drawing.png |
Drawing of the imprint made by the 1877 die of the Great Seal of the United States. The 1892 pamphlet this was taken from identifies it as the 1841 die, but is incorrect. A new die had been made in 1877, but since it was a near-copy of the 1841 die, almost nobody noticed. The stars are larger and the letters in the scroll are taller, which is seen in this version. Hunt's 1892 pamphlet was rushed and contained numerous errors, but the same mistake was made in Hunt's more thorough 1909 book. It was not until the 1930s that the 1877 die was re-discovered. |
