On balance, I'd say yes. But the difference in focus and lighting meant I had to do a lot of checking! And yes the top looks mushy, but I assume it's out of focus. Can you buy it at the price of the top one? Because with that photo it should really be a lot lower than the price of the lower one!

Hi Gary, I haven't particularly studied the many variations in colon dot positions; in my experience the dot locations always vary a little bit from one die to the next. I have acquired a nice 1853 Peck 1503, because it is a documented type, and have also noticed that 1851's (all OT's of course) have DEF colons at close, interim and far positions. Below are examples of the close and interim on Gouby Style 2A (second 1 over 1), and Gouby Style 3 respectively.

Whilst we're here, does anyone have an F289, 62 over 26. Mentioned in the 2016 Freeman and recognised by Dracott in his 2021 update. I think I've found an example and a little piccy to show what I think I see.
