Hi All

This quarter shows doubling on GW's ear lobe, correct? If so, I found no match with Wexler's die varieties. There is a die chip between the 'I' and 'N' on "'IN' God We Trust." Thanks for looking...

Well the results are not what I expected.

But I feel I need to have a better set of images to tell for sure. With the devices not being squared, I can tell what is really going on. So if you could take an image with:
1. The horizontal leveled at the bottom edges of the 'L' on Liberty and the 'P' mintmark, that will be the horizontal line.

That will make the image the same for your image and mine. Later I will need to crop the other areas like the yellow colored line and the green colored line. That will make the images the same squared shape. Then I will set the dimensions the same for both images. Then I will be able to tell if the earlobes are the same size/shape and be able to tell if the lobe is enlarged or damaged. So if you could take the images with the horizontal lines And post that. I can set the coin to the same on mine, then we will know for sure what is what. Thanks coop.

Well it took seeing the devices horizontal to determine it was the real deal. Now I know what to use to make the horizontal line. I kept trying with just trust and the couldn't get the alignment correct. Then the L to the mintmark was the second choice. But now I can use this on all the quarter obverses on the States and ATB Quarters.
