  Now that the pics are available. I don't know how to post them side-by-side or in the post.
  
  Do these look like the same die? Also posted in the registry forum accidentally.

  Sort of. The raised bumps you show are part of the 1921 master die.

  Hi John,
  
  Guess that "Master Die" might resolve the question.
  
  Was the "Master Die"used at both the Denver and San Franciso mints?

  The Master Die is used only in Philadelphia to make the working hubs, which are used to make the working dies. Dies were not manufactured at the branch mints.

  Which basicly means that yes all of the 1921 dies, no matter wha mint they were used at, all came from the same master dies.
