Message:: [QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1030524, member: 21705"]The excellent pictures allowed me to determine the obverse also showed evidence of digits (even though illegible) where they were supposed to be and the correct edge pattern of the die break which gave me high confidence this was not engraving or post mint damage. I use the images I captured from Icollector.com of the Holmes collection. I then rotate it with Microsoft Office Picture manager because it doesn't lose the outer portions of the images as it is rotated like other programs. I can then match the size along with the angle to get a great comparison image. In this case, even the points of greater corrosion matched up closely as one would expect along the edges of the raised break. Other than money, the only things holding me back were my too frequent wishtributions and the thought that even if I was convinced of it's authenticity, it's value depends on others being convinced as well.    <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t138351/#ixzz14XKo1wDn" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t138351/#ixzz14XKo1wDn"> </a> <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t138351/#ixzz14XKo1wDn" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t138351/#ixzz14XKo1wDn"> </a>[/QUOTE]
