Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 02/20/2008 09:08 am I haven't spent much time looking at it yet, Ken. I will probably do that and see if they're from an identical die which is quite possible. Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 02/20/2008 09:48 am Kens' question got me to thinking...Hey, I can post the images up here and let all of us judge! They look like from the same die to me on first glance. #1 - The one I bought from Ken vs. #2 - The one I bought from a PCGS forum member Edited by Prethen 02/20/2008 09:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
