<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 1022362, member: 6036&quot;]Oh... this is <b>O-106, r.1</b>. There are two diagnostics. Check out the photos below, with cute little orange thingies.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>OBVERSE:&nbsp; </b>Look closely at Star 1, on either side of the downward pointing point. There are two small die lines. Since they rise above the surface of the metal, they can&#039;t be scratches. Those are two grooves, accidently put in the die by the engraver&#039;s tool when he was working on the design.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>REVERSE: </b>Check out the shield; each bundle of three vertical lines is called a gule (symbolizing the color red). Now, look at the 3rd line of the first gule, the 1st line of the 2nd gule, and the 2nd line of the 4th gule. Each of these goes too far north, past the lowest horizontal bar and up to the second horizontal. This, too, is diagnostic and resulted from an engraver&#039;s error.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
