Message:: [QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3439291, member: 99642"]Here I go playing Devil's advocate..(you're welcome , Meow)... If you look at the right side of George's neck, about even with the middle of his pony tail, you can see a curved line that is visible, that you could say is in the shape of a half of a potato. Then look down at the bottom of his neck on the left and you see two vertical lines, one longer than the other.Now, keep those images in mind and return to the reverse, and compare the curved shape, from the front, to the curved line on the state shape( I believe it's a river ) and compare the two straight lines, from the front, to the straight lines of the flag design just beneath the 91 in 1912. It would help to see this juxtaposition if the right-side-up image of the front were side-by-side with the upside-down image of the reverse. The distance from the "potato" curve to the straight lines on the front, is about the same distance from the river curve to the straight lines under the 91 in 1912. Conceivably, these marks could be evidence of a die clash. The difficulty is making the comparisons.  I wish that I had the capability (knowledge? ability? ) to manipulate the images into the correct positions for this comparison, and to mark the "lines" that I'm speaking of. And of course, there is also the inevitable circulation wear evident on virtually every coin found CRH.[/QUOTE]
