Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1845 Posts	Posted 06/26/2024 4:55 pm I draw a line on the screen and align two points on each coin. Using transparency mode, I can scroll the mouse wheel to see the top coin and then the bottom coin. At midpoint it is seen that the two legends are not different. Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1845 Posts	Posted 06/27/2024 4:58 pm Yes I've seen that on a number of coins. In this case, weights, measures, specific gravity and more testing show no difference. But yet there are some like the denticles that are different. Makes me confused when trying to decide if I have a legit coin or a clever imitation. Report this Post to the Staff
