[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 1249017, member: 11521"]I sure wish your photos would enlarge. You had me going there with the B&W photo. It is the exact same photo as one in my guide to MPLs (reprint by ANA from The Numismatist). I was looking for die polish and sure enough there was the die polish line from the M in UNUM. But alas it was not a photo of YOUR coin. I hate to burst your bubble the line on your coin - although very close - is not an exact match to the die polish line shown in the photo. The die polish line on the genuine 1910 MPL starts at the [U]inside[/U] corner of the bottom of the left leg of the M. The line on your coin appears to start at the [U]outside[/U] corner of the same leg. That's about all I need to see but it would be nice to be able to look for some die polish lines in 'WE' in the obverse motto.[/QUOTE]
