[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 24685205, member: 27832"]I'm really in no position to authenticate one of these myself, but as an exercise: Mint mark position, orientation, and shape seem to match Position 4. Slope in middle of B for VDB appears correct. The dot after B looks right, but there's too much noise/toning/texture for me to be sure where the dot after D is, and even more so for V. Can you shoot the reverse again with strong oblique light to emphasize the design/relief?[/QUOTE]
