<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 2009938, member: 5036"]IMO, these are all legitimate Die Pair 4 coins. I can see the die chip inside the upper loop of the S clearly on coins 1,3, and 4, and believe that I can see it on 2, but am not positive. Additionally, the VDB on all of them looks authentic (i.e. in the right place, the center bar of the B is slanted down, all the periods are in the right place).</p><p>That being said the question now is which one appeals to you most. Were it I, coin 2, provided a quick scope with a loop reveals the die chip and the notch in the serif would be the coin that I would choose. It looks to be a nice XF45 and even if it has been retoned, it is not a coin I would turn down. Coin 1, while in nice condition has a nasty scratch under the C in cents through the IT in united. Coin 3 has a look I am not sure of and the spots on the back appear to me to be corrosion and coin 4 has a large gouge out of the coin just behind Lincoln's head. This is just my four cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
