jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 11:05 am So would this one be OBV1 then? I knew the two were different I just couldn't put my finger on what the difference was...

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 11:06 am YES While there are a number of differences in the two portraits the most obvious marker is the shape of the forehead.I don't know why Charlton's makes it seem so difficult.It may have something to do with copyright issues as the forehead difference is mentioned in other catalogues. Thanks for the great pics jdmern "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 01/12/2013 11:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
