I will work on making the images larger and with a reverse.
Will the image tutorial show me how to do this?
Is there someone that can tell me the right way to get a nice large image? Thanks - ddi
PS - It may take awhile...

I posted these larger images so you could compare the die scratches to your coin. The less than 100 examples were from the very first strikes. If your coin doesn't have these markers, then it is not a SMS coin. The most obvious is the lathe lines near the left plantar. The dies were only used for these strikes, for the SMS striking process. But were used later for a normal business strike usage.

What is a left plantar?

On the reverse there are two planters next to the left and the right of the stairs:  |

Some times I'm no smarter than a box of crackers  but I finally got the photos to show up. I hope these photos are what you need. And could this also be a close A/M?    |

Normal reverse. The Close AM didn't start as part of the design until 1993. (a few on 1992 cents that are rare) So the idea for a Close AM wouldn't appear for 30 later) While the coin does have fresh dies because it is a EDS/EMDS example, it is a normal strike. The SBS were special strike examples. (Probably like a proof type strike with two strikes that enhance the devices a lot more) Look at the same areas of the images above and then look at the same areas on your images. The strikes are a lot stronger on the SMS coins. Also the lathe lines on the reverse of the SMS by the left plantar can be seen on the SMS coins.  You can see these stronger on the risers and on the steps, and the bays. |
