<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robbudo, post: 1557232, member: 19243&quot;]There were only 3 pairs of dies used for proof coins in 1857.</p><p><br /></p><p>For PR3: can you post a closeup for the N and T in UNITED for me? The N has a diagonal die file mark above it and the T has a little spur on the inside of the right part of the T. </p><p><br /></p><p>For PR2, there are die lines in denticles above CA. And &#039;numerous crisscrowwing die lines in the field near the rim at 6:00 to 9:00.&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>PR1: &quot;die file mark from the left serif of the top of the I in UNITED to the rim ... a die scratch that slants down just below the beak diagonally to the right.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>from The Flying Eagle &amp; Indian Cent Attribution Guide 2nd edition vol 1 1856-1858.
