Then following are overlays onto the four obverses depicted in the newspaper article posted by NSP in post #2 above. I have labeled this resource as Unknown Origin but it is my understanding this was published by the ANA back in the early 1980&#039;s as part of a counterfeit detection resource. This I am not certain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep in mind the images provided in the alleged </p><p>ANA resource are low resolution and contain significant shadowing artifacts. Also they are slightly skewed. The skewing can be seen by looking at the red square I drew around the frame edges of the ANA images. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway with the above qualifying statements provided above - I am of the opinion the ANA resource only shows three of the four 1909-S VDB obverses recognized by the grading services. None of the coins provided in the ANA resource appear to match OBV-2 recognized by the grading services. Both OBV-2 and OBV-3 from the ANA resource indicate mint mark position of Obverse #3 as recognized by the grading services with ANA OBV-2 appearing to be the best match for OBV-3. Due to the low quality of the ANA images - I can&#039;t determine whether the coin shown as ANA OBV-2 is the same or different from the coin shown as ANA OBV-3.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at it and give your own opinion.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]684709[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]684710[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]684711[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]684712[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]684713[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]684714[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]684715[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]684716[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
