The AC/DC variety?

 

Apple cheek obverse ... and reverse?

 

Great answer, but, uh, no...

 

@Eduard ...he should be able to tell. And if he doesn’t, then it’s a counterfeit. Right?

 

PS: I guess the counter stamp is there for a reason... to hide the part of the design they didn’t get right.

 

Bid was $192.50 with 2 days to go...

 

Getting closer micbraun...

 

Looks like a worn-down Gallery Mint replica. You can see where they tried to get rid of COPY

 

That is an interesting response. I was thinking that it was one of the Head of ‘95 varieties, but the relief was too high. The “COPY” punch mark was under the “AC.”

One of these thing fooled some EAC members years ago. Some thought that it was a newly discovered variety.

 

And the answer is:


The seller ended the auction after reviewing this set of images.

 

Several Chinese fakes without COPY were made by dies created from Gallery Mint coins. The 1794 large cent is one of them. You can see where the wreath was touched up where COPY was removed.

 

I have one as well; "coin" on right is mine- copy of a copy...

 

I have an “S-48” too!

 

WOW. This is fascinating!
