Does anyone have the diags for a 1918/7-D Buff 5 cent? Or a link to them?

Thanks.

Assuming you mean "diagnostics", I know one; The mintmark should tilt sightly to the left.

This thread has a pic of a nice one, note the die crack near the jaw

If you look at it straight on, the top hole of the 8 is smaller and slightly offline to the left of the bottom hole.


Edited to add: Corrected right to left, it's monday morning and I'm a bit dyslexic before coffee.

Thanks!

Mine has a bunch of crud on the obverse so once i clean it off it maybe a new overdate. I know I keep seeing things but thats how you find new ones!!! lol My scanner is having major problems but I can take a few shots with my microscope and I'll post them later.

The top hole is offline to the LEFT of the bottom hole. Also, the top and bottom holes look like opposing "half moons" instead of round (assuming you've got enough details to see that much!)

...sure would be nice to see/get a copy of the TPG's reference photo sheet sitting right next to the graders seat.

...they DO have one, yes
