[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2642966, member: 24314"]The claim has been made before on CT that 5 obverses were used for S-VDB coins. I contend that two of them are so close, that w/o minute comparison images, no one can tell the difference, even using a stereo microscope. Otherwise, the fifth position is very, very rare not to have been included in the ANA results done long ago. THE ONLY WAY to settle this is to record die states for each of the present four "S" mint mark positions. [COLOR=#b30000]That would eliminate any image shift due to shadows, die wear, tilt & light, and the "outline drawings" which are not exact enough that you have used for your study. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] Until that is done with irrefutable precision, I'll stick to my belief of four different dies. IMO, your contributions are amazing. How about doing a study for the 09-S coins when you have the time. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#b30000][/COLOR][/QUOTE]
