The gap between the scarf and the head.

I can see the abraded surface. Look right under and back of the ear at that little hair curl in the first pic....the second pic shows it's almost been died off.

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

One type has the severed neckline with no difference in the finish, but the other type has literally flat prooflike mirrored fields in the neckline area. On the second type, the mirrors extend from below the chin through the back of the jaw, then up between the collar and ear, where one curl has been nearly obliterated to a mere bump, then back out behind the figure above the collar and below the curls. And this is not all, the mirrors appear both in the inner recess of the ear as well as the outermost fold of the ear. There are additional mirrors both in the rightmost white of the eye and the pupil, and just above and below the outside of Monroe's left cheekbone. There are also die polishing marks outside the figure along the left of the collar. And if this is not enough, there are small die cracks and die chips on the chin, lips, nose and brow. And on the reverse there is a significant die chip and crack on the bottom side of the upright arm near the gown.
Unfortunately I cannot image these with my scanner. I assume this all has to do with the late stage of the dies, but it is so apparent as to not fail to comment on. It is far more extreme than SUMORADA's photo above.
