<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 8242835, member: 5629&quot;]I honestly do not think you would be able to tell the difference between an original 1947 and one of the early re-strikes that were done starting in 1949.&nbsp; I would assume that high grade originals would be extremely hard to find (given you could even differentiate between an original and an early re-strike).&nbsp; You would be able to tell the difference from the 1996 re-strikes as the re-engraving should be evident.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since there were so few of the 1996 re-strikes, I would assume that one would be quite pricey if one ever becomes available on the market.&nbsp; As far as value between original and re-strikes, given equal preservation, I would believe that an original would be more valuable.&nbsp; However, it would need a rather solid provenance to give any proof of it to being an original.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
