[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 292113, member: 7957"]I blew up my coin and an authentic coin (Heritage) and compared the pictures. Printing them out gave me a better image – one image per full page. The following are my conclusions. Bear in mind that these are not the best pictures and I am doing a lot of interpolation. 1. The date definitely has the proper spacing. 2. The mint mark is positioned exactly where the authentic is. 3. The marks one both “1”’s and both side of the “9“ line up, but are not all the same height. 4. The bottom of these marks do NOT appear to quite line up with the crossbar in the “4” – slightly high. The top definitely does not. 5. I believe the both “1”’s are the same height, but it is difficult to tell due to the shadows. If anything, the second “1” is taller than the first. 6. The top of the “D” is rounded both inside and outside. I cannot tell for sure about the bottom. 7. The lines on my date and MM are narrower than the authentic. I assume that this is meaningless due to dye wear and other reasons.[/QUOTE]
