<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1411740, member: 66"]Yeah but it is easier to definitely tell different pieces of paper money apart because of the serial numbers. When you are comparing notes on four examples of a VF large cent variety each seen by a different person at different times it can be hard to tell if you are talking about one, two, three, or four different specimens. We have to be able to notice any distinguishing marks and convey that information in a manner that others will understand exactly what we mean. Good photos really help but for a long time that wasn't possible until Bill Noyes began his condition census photo survey. He has seen and photographed almost every known R-6, 7, and 8 large cent, and most of the the top 20 or so top specimens of all the R-5 coins. And the top 10 to 15 examples of the R-1 thru R-4 coins[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
