[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2372484, member: 1892"]Still haven't gotten the area where the scribbles are to be found. :) Here's an example - shamelessly ripped from VAMworld, for accreditation purposes - showing the scribbles area and the kind of resolution necessary for it to be useful: [ATTACH=full]485404[/ATTACH] Now, here are the problems with attributing 1921-P's. First, with over 40 million minted, there are....quite a few die pairs, and we've by no means identified them all yet, nor may we ever. Second, unless there is a clear "smoking gun" attribute, we're reduced to these scribbles (not seen on all of them, anyway) or pretty minute doubling of either date, stars, profile or certain other features. Your Dino-Lite isn't capable of enough resolution to show them in attribution-level quality, if this is the best it can do. That's why I say attributing 1921-P's isn't for the faint of heart. :)[/QUOTE]
