[QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 1829594, member: 40340"]yup yup N$ and my screwup I was reading the 117 not the 118. Looking at the indicators described for the 118, (1) The date has tall 1's with full serifs. CHECK (2) Die lines in the shape of a fingerprint are usually visible below star 1. This I don't see (3) Line 2 of stripe 6 extends well below the shield margin. SemiCheck (pic not great there but I think I see it) (4) On most specimens there is a fine die break joining the top of UNITED. This I don't see at all but, the 2 examples of 118 at N$ don't show it either in the pics so may only be visible when in hand. I'm not saying your wrong Jesse, I'm still very new to Busties and know it. I'm asking to learn since I don't have the books and was working from the sellers pic's and the bustie forum over at N$. I haven't posted much about it here on CT but this is the 9th addition to the "$50 bustie set" and learning more and more as I go :D The part that scares me is I already see a later "finer" collection of busties in my future :D[/QUOTE]
