<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7842740, member: 19463"]Does the die crack at reverse top extend further left on the Heritage coin or is that an artifact of the photograph (as I suspect)? I believe they are die duplicate but the photo of your coin makes the circle of dots look a bit oval which would distort attempts to overlay/match. What I believe here is that you need to make a new photo of your coin paying attention to being perfectly level. I have no experience photographing slabs but I can see how some will be tilted a bit when shot for glare reduction while Heritage has a way of lighting or correcting such problems. That could include shooting at a set angle and distorting the image back to round (not really a difficult program to write, I suspect, but I have no idea if they do that).</p><p><br /></p><p>Do I recall correctly that (nearly?) all of the known examples of the type were from one find?
