<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 24695845, member: 106826&quot;]General comment: when members post specimens for review, I like standard photos of the obverse and reverse. I think that a number of variety hunters feel this way, especially when another member is asking for help regarding attribution.&nbsp; For example, one marker may be obliterated while another is present. You probably wouldn’t get that from a close-up of a date or a device.&nbsp; Also, before spotting markers, placement of a mint mark might first need confirmation.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with Ed’s request for the full images, juxtaposed for comparison. Especially with our experienced members, they will see things others do not readily observe.&nbsp; It’s part of their diagnostic method. </p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the two specimens here, at a minimum they share a very similar likeness.&nbsp; They may even share a common error attributable to the die. But what would fill the die in such a fashion to create this effect?&nbsp; A partially filled device?&nbsp; Attributable to impacted grease?&nbsp; Is the effect seen on the rim the result of a dropped die?&nbsp; Or is that effect just a red herring?&nbsp; A full image might help bear that out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
