<p>[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 59313, member: 1674"]It's not quite that simple...I am using a 300 page reference book to attempt to determine which die pair was used to create your coin by looking at small differences in it from other halves from the same year; like where does star 1 (lowest left side star) point? Does it point directly at the center of a denticle, or at the upper portion, upper edge, lower portion, lower edge, or in between denticles. Then How closely does the I in pluribus line up with T2 in states? then where does star 7 point in relation to the denticles and in relation to the front of Liberty's cap. Next I'd look to see the star 8 to denticle and star 13 to denticle positions. That will narrow down the options greatly and then I can begin to compare the individual die markers for each of the possible die pairs to figure out exactly which one yours is. Basically, long story short, I need good full-sized photos of the coin to work with, it's not like the dies were numbered by the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
