Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 08/29/2020 8:26 pm @CH, is that circulation flattening on the letter Y of LIBERTY or is there some minor doubling too?

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 08/30/2020 08:56 am The couple known LDB4 BIE's are just little flags coming off the E, so this one would fit the pattern. That said, it's really just too hard to be sure from a photo on something like this so likely you will just have to make a call based on what you see in hand. Is there enough metal displaced from the E to create the flag from a hit, or not, essentially. Report this Post to the Staff
