No sir, Have been out of town with the grandkids. The reason i believe it is the real deal is i have purchased a few scarce coins from a family that inherited them from the grandfather.He was an avid collector in the 50s-70s. Seems like he had an eye for collecting. Some of the coins that i have purchased (all in very old rusty stapled 2x2s) where 1811/10 Capped bust Which was an awesome piece that i sold. Sorry never took a photo and now regret selling. There was also a 1892 Quarter Eagle mintage of 2400 with an estimated survival of 400 and a 1850 Quarter Eagle with an estimated survival of 250 according to pcgs. Many more coins. I always purchase with caution and never let my excitement interfere. The family is absolutely amazing to work with and let’s me make purchases over time instead of breaking my bank!!!! I really appreciate your response and will do my best to do further research!!! Thanks

 

I look forward to the end result.

 

Sent her off to cacg here are the results. I’m glad it received a straight grade!!

 

I am very happy for you. That is a true "whale' coin to land. On the one hand I am glad my comment on the obverse scratches turned out to be wrong. Chagrined, I will of course refund you the entire amount you paid for my "expert' advice. James

 

Thanks you had my wallet crying!!!

 

You can’t argue with that. Very nice and congratulations.

 

Seems like a good result! That mint mark is so odd looking that I'd guess an added mint mark at first glance, but PCGS says they speculate that the die was shipped without one, so New Orleans made up their own.

 

I believe that Philly sent a used die without a mint mark and a mint worker at New Orleans added the mint mark. It makes me wonder if the counterfeit was the results of a mint worker trying to save the die by tooling some details.

 

Awesome find!
