[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4977711, member: 112"][IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fus.v-cdn.net%2F6027503%2Fuploads%2Feditor%2Ff0%2F25ec9l6wpow4.jpg&hash=3a6458c3f14621a832a4366305549553[/IMG] Well, both images sure look like a match to me. And it's just a guess on my part but that seems to rule out the scratch on the coin theory. Now as for the hub theory, seems like a good probability. Here's why. The Buffs from 1913-15 were all from the same hub. But in 1916 they changed the hub and these are the changes they made - revised obv: letters sharper, head outline changed. Field texture on the obverse all gone. Reverse fields remained textured to the end, although the texture fades a little each year. There were no more hub changes through 1938. Given the hub changes that were made in 1916, the area in question was left alone. So it seems to stand to reason that the same detail, obviously present on the 1913 coin and the 1926 coin we can see, was indeed on the master hub. Others may disagree but I can't think of another possible explanation right now. If anybody else can, please speak up.[/QUOTE]
