[QUOTE="PlanoSteve, post: 25377485, member: 91609"]Well first of all, you gave no provenance for your acquisition, and you used terms such as: I am not saying it's a fake, I am merely suggesting that , to me, they are not the exact same die, because of some measurements & comparisons I made based on the pics you provided. I'm still waiting for someone to post an overlay which will more accurately show the "seems to" issues. And there are areas on the second specimen which seem better/different than the prime example (ie, nike, for one). I guess another way to put it is that, if I was comparing the two, I would not have purchased the inferior specimen without additional provenance/info. which I don't believe you provided.
