<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2669096, member: 19463"]I say yes. It is not always easy to tell what differences were caused by the die and what by strike, environment etc. I'm 99% sure this is a match. Look at such things as the relation between the diadem ties and letters. Look at the letters that are just a little oddly shaped or a bit lower than their neighbors in line. See K and the final C.
