Message:: [QUOTE="hontonai, post: 300961, member: 4703"]The picture of the seated Liberty in my 2003 Redbook is pretty dark, and I can't see it well enough to tell whether there are any significant differences between your coin and that picture. However, the pine tree side of your coin and the one pictured in the Red Book are vastly different. <ol> <li>In your picture the bottom of the branches are clearly defined by a distinct border, but in the Red Book the needles of the bottom row do not have a border</li> <li>In your picture below the bottom row of needles there is a crossbar passing behind the trunk, with some more or less vertical marks on the right, but in the Red Book there are what appear to be random small branches, and no straight crossbar, in that area</li> <li>In your picture the trunk is a single straight line with no markings that look like bark, but in the Red Book picture there is an irregular trunk, with what appears to be a second trunk behind it on the left</li> <li>In your picture the area around the base of the trunk looks very different from the same area in the Red Book picture; and</li> <li>The Red Book states that the letters "1d LM" are at the base, which are not clearly visible in the picture, and in your picture the letters "1C LM" are clear, distinct and prominent.</li> </ol>Bottom line, I don't know what you have, but it is not the piece pictured in the Red Book.[/QUOTE]
