<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jack D. Young, post: 4024519, member: 93371&quot;]John got back with me and stated he had partial info on the 2nd specimen. He said he saw the suspect piece and “it is the same counterfeit, though a different specimen.&nbsp; It was weighed, and it came in at 6.05 grams, which is about .2 grams light.&nbsp; It was raw in a flip, had somewhat splotchy toning. I don&#039;t know anything about where it came from”.</p><p><br /></p><p>“Looking at the photo of the 1899 DDR variety listed in the David Lawrence book, this piece and the other PCGS piece were both missing the large die chip present in the example listed in Dave&#039;s <i>Complete Guide</i> book.&nbsp; So if the variety in Dave&#039;s book is indeed a DDR (vs. shelf doubling), it certainly isn&#039;t this particular piece”.</p><p><br /></p><p>John attached the Complete Guide photo of the aforementioned area, plus the same area of the PCGS counterfeit.&nbsp; Note:&nbsp; John added the two red-outline arrows to the major part of the chip between the tail feathers and the arrow feathers.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1058283[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
