<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robec, post: 2978556, member: 19094&quot;]There were two dies used for both obverse and reverse. Obverse die 1 was matched with Reverse die 1 and Obv die 2 was matched with Rev die 2.</p><p><br /></p><p>Starting with die 1 the two obverse diagnostics that stand out the most are a C shaped die scratch to the left of the I in IN. They may look a little different in these images due to lighting, but all are identical.</p><p><img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1913diag/die1/Cscratch_IN1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1913diag/die1/Cscratch_IN2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1913diag/die1/Cscratch_IN3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1913diag/die1/Cscratch_IN4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1913diag/die1/Cscratch_IN5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The second major diagnostic is a spike shaped notch attached to and below the first 1 in the date.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1913diag/die1/Notch_date1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1913diag/die1/Notch_date2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1913diag/die1/Notch_date3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1913diag/die1/Notch_date4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Another diagnostic is a die gouge radiating from the top of the G in GOD towards and through the O.</p><p><img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1913diag/die1/Ggouge.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Still another diagnostic also concerns the G. the lower left outside portion of the G is broken</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1913diag/die1/BrokeG1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1913diag/die1/BrokeG2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1913diag/die1/BrokeG3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>There are diagnostics for the reverse. See if you have any of these first. If none are there we&#039;ll look at die 2. I&#039;ll work on those for tomorrow[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
