<p>[QUOTE="Fallguy, post: 2669143, member: 84739"]A couple of the Rev shots are fine. Unfortunately, the new Obv pics have two much light on them. Regardless, since you have the coins in-hand, just set them down side-by-side and take a real close look at the "tips" at the end of the loops of the nine (a magnifying glass might be helpful). First note if they are both "pointed" or do one or the other have a different shape. Next, and probably most important, look to see if there is a variation in the "direction" the tips are pointing (Top of the coin being North). Both tips are pointing Right (or East), BUT does one of the tips appear to be pointing more ESE than the other? If possible, find a good quality 69 and both Large and Small date 70's for comparison. Try and compare the directions of tips of both of your 71's to the 69 & 70's, and let me know what you find (that is if you want to). I won't tell you what I'm hoping you find as I don't want to bias your observations anymore than I already have.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the reverse pictures, I just left for a 3 week vacation yesterday and I can't remember (an aging mind is a heck of a thing to get used to<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) exactly what aspect I was looking for (though I know there was a specific alteration in the design), but when I get a few minutes in a day or so, I'll look for the details.</p><p><br /></p><p>One last thing: every one has to start somewhere and "learning" is a life long process (they way you will know for sure that you are dead is the day you realize you are no longer capable of learning<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).

One last thing: every one has to start somewhere and "learning" is a life long process (they way you will know for sure that you are dead is the day you realize you are no longer capable of learning:)). So there is really no such thing as a silly question (unless you ask the same question over and over again, like the guy who has elicited 18 pages of responses because he won't take NO for an answer).
