picking you brains

[fogie]

I am looking for feedback on the theory that 1882-O VAMs 1B, 26(26A) and 42A are all the exact same die pair. @messydesk @vampicker @etc....

Can't swear to the VAM 1B, but comparing the 42 and 42A plates to the original VAM 26A plate does demonstrate they are all the same.

Good name for the post. This is the first time when having three choices I don`t have any.

What's the difference between "exact same die pair" and "same die pair?" (BTW - someone named Lecter already picked my tiny brain....)

[fogie]

I use the "exact same die pair" for exactly that and I do so because I noticed that the set of words "same die pair" was use to referr to the "same die classification" - and that has proven not to be very helpful in some cases. (It was wrong even...). When I use the "exact same die pair" - I have confirmed that -on my examples- they really are.

These are all the same coin.

Thanks! Now I understand the redundancy.
