1805 draped bust quarter (real??)

This isnt my coin, i snapped a quick photo for opinions from you fine folks. I didnt have my scales so i couldnt weigh it...with that said, a red flag went off while looking @ this today. I noticed a copperish color inside the divot in front of liberty's mouth. Does this coin look legit to you guys???

It looks authentic. If it's a fake it's a pretty darn good one.

 

Can you explain why the divot in front of her mouth is gold or copper colored??? It makes the coin look sandwich-clad.It only shows up in the top photo

 

I believe the color your referring to is just tarnish/toning of a golden color. Im no early US coinage expert but as Nevadabell said, id be surprised if this was a fake.

 

Well thanks for the opinions fellas
If i could, id like to direct everyone over to my other thread (1802 cob MO 8R chopmarks) which can be found in Coin Chat ForumOops wrong happy face ..... Have a wonderful day

 

fake..

 

I guess i should have done a poll... ok 1 vote=fake 1 vote=real
We need a tie breaking vote

 

Great topic here. I saw 2 SLQs at the ANA show, both PCGS certified. In my dreams, if I ever have a chance to buy a 1916 SLQ, it will certainly be certified.

 

It appears to be the 1805 B-2 variety on account of the squiggly line below the second cloud from the left. I think it might be a die clash? If it's a fake then it's a really good one.
