Hmmm, I've always thought of hammered errors as just poor workmanship or someone who didn't care--make the daily quota and go home with all your fingers intact. One definition of a good day!
(I'm laughing when I write this--I'm not being critical of anyone in a "hood.")

Don't worry, I'm not in a hood. But, I do know where you live...
Quite a few hammered errors are due to sloppy workmanship but there are errors that might have been caused by the die engravers having more than their daily quota of ale!

good article... i haven't read much about hammered errors.
Many thanks, I figured that there are many topics regarding modern errors yet few if any on English Hammered errors.
Thank you ever so much for your comments, much appreciated!
