John, when you get your coin back, you'll want to double check that the photo you posted of the reverse matches what I saw under the microscope. Your photo doesn't show the warping, flattening, or scrapes that I observed.

Very cool topic, even if it wasn't a rotated die.

Oh my goodness Mike your correct, I just noticed that my 1926 D with high mintmark pic has the same Reverse as this 1931. Coop I love your work with this post but this Reverse is probably 26D, I apologize. I assure you this was an honest mistake. I took pictures of these (and a few others) at the same time. I have photos saved Let me see if I can detect where I went wrong.

I don't know how I did it they are labeled correctly in my picture file. This reverse picture is incorrect, the actual reverse I have saved is posted below. Sorry everyone Noob mistake. Mike does this Reverse appear to be Reverse you examined? Gosh I'm really sorry everyone.

That is what I felt the reverse should have looked like on this coin. It shows the damage created by the obverse alteration.

Fixed the wrong reverses and deleted the above images with the wrong reverse. They will eventually stop appearing.
