Are these images yours or from Heritage or somewhere else?
I'd like to use them on our 1914D coinfacts page...

I found these references... David W Lange's "The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents" states on page 83 that genuine coins "were coined from at least six obverse dies". That is footnoted with a reference to P. Martin's "Authenticating the Lincoln Cent" published by the ANA Authentication Bureau. Photos of the genuine dies are not provided.

@Go-Rebels, Not sure if it matters, but you have labeled the 6 dies 1 through 6, but your photo names number them differently. Is there any generally accepted numbering system for these six dies?
