A good diagnostic is the 1 in 1982. On the "no FG" variety, the one shows reduced base. Okay, so I'm bad at art.. Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0190 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 03/14/2017 12:05 am Thank you Druu. I took another pic on the date and compare with other coin. 1982-P (top) and 1974-D (bottom), still confusing , base of 1 looks like is in between Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 03/14/2017 12:22 am Hmmm, that is confusing. I had two "no FG" 1982 P's -- one legit one, and one greased die. I can look for pictures of those two if you want. I find it helpful to compare only between 1982 halves. Over the course of the series, there are slight design changes that aren't always obvious.
