I wonder if the pictures are any better in the leather bound addition. I like the book, but a few of the pictures are just tough to see.
You should probably join EAC and get more information. I have grellmans book, but could never get comfortable with all those measurements -...
I don't see any die cracks - on the O-106 the I to T relationship is completely different than the O-117.
I think O-117 based of I-t relationship, letters, arrowheads to A, mouth slightly open.

Man tanked two of them. :) I really thought all the tick marks the picture shows would drop it down - but the luster was certainly there for a 66....
Why electrotypes - you should buy the originals from the Missouri cabinet. :) I think they have a complete run for sale. :)
WOW can't believe that jump. I missed two of the threads and a couple of my big misses must have dropped off.
Those are die polishing lines in my opinion. I think the luster on this one carries it to 66.
That is what I was thinking - the first coin gets stuck in the machine, two planchets get loaded and the one in the middle looks like this after a...
