The one on the left is one the NIA lists as "suspect". The one on the right is one that has been known to the hobby for a while. Note the higher embossing on the left-hand one, and that the middle "O" is lower, and doesn't quite follow the curve of the embossing. Has ANYONE had one that exactly matches the left-hand one in shape and embossing in their collection for more than about ten years?
