[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 8451811, member: 27832"]Okay, am I crazy for thinking that the two reverse images are two different coins? Look at the big dark spot/hit on the branch in the top image. It's completely missing on the bottom. Look at how far the rim has worn down. I can see the bottom of the middle bar of the E on the bottom image. In the top image, it's completely obscured. Finally, look at the mint mark itself. It's [I]oriented differently[/I] in the two images. In the top one, it looks like an S, with the right corner higher than the left. In the bottom, it looks like a D, with the left corner higher. [USER=113813]@h.e.-pennypacker[/USER], are these a seller's images, or are they yours? If they're yours, can you please double-check that your close-up is from the same coin as your whole-coin images?[/QUOTE]
