That narrows down the search for sister examples of the same variety with the same PMD nicks and cuts which would only occur on an actual transfer die.</p><p><br /></p><p>But you need examples of authentic coins in the same of later die states without these diagnostic marks to determine a transfer die was created and used.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure there are other signs, but that&#039;s when I ask the Authentication Expert (Jack.)</p><p><br /></p><p>If the photos are insufficient, I&#039;ll send him the coin for a detailed exam. Either it&#039;s authentic and it has a good home with me or it&#039;s not and I give it to Jack for his research. Either way, it will wind up where it needs to be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
