SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 8:40 pm Thanks, I wanted to be sure because of the buildup on the ear lobe and ear flap...the letters weren't throwing me but the ear lobe was worth investigating for me... Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 8:40 pm The first thing I usually do is check the two biggies for me Variety vista and Coppercoins to see if listed. Then just what ones are. This sometimes tells you what the hubbing problems were on the master dies. In theis case VV lists 1, CC has 4, all are Class 6 Distended hub doublings. This means there was very little rotational movement and dies of like wear were matched together. This makes the "balloon" details, thickness with out much separation lines, the toughest for me to spot. This is all classic MD, details are reduced, especially the lower half of LIBERTY.
