<p>[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 26071559, member: 4781"]The obverse die for both coins has exactly the same die lapping effects in the same places. Note the area of the gown folds just to the left of the hay bale. Die lapping is like the effect of rising sea levels - the shoreline is inundated. Note the flat "water" areas surrounding the gown details in that area. A genuine die would not have been hubbed with that. Only lapping of the die after hubbing would cause the flats to form. The chances of die lapping on two different dies at two different mints being exactly the same is minuscule.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
