Indeed. Please post a decent, sharp photo, inclusive of the date numerals.
Yet Breen explicitly distinguishes a difference in 2373: Repunched 18 (but not 64); 2374: Repunched 64 (but not 18). In fact, he lists (and...
The specimens were rotated and sized to equal one another, and then layered in Adobe PhotoShop. The layers were then framed and time-sequenced...
That's indeed what I also said above in a previous post pursuant to Breen's stated tolerance / variance. The OP's is just slightly lesser. As...
I should have had more clarity with my question. That's what I was alluding too also. Thanks.
Beautiful coins. But darn, I'm still fuming at Czar Alexander I myself, because my great³ grandparents on one of my parent's sides (I forget...
Is it me, or are the crevices around the S mintmark a dead giveaway too?
Here is a link that displays a 2-cent specimen that is more congruent with your date position. As I said before, date digits were punched into the...
Not necessarily. Date digits were punched into the dies by hand. As a result of this, there are numerous date varieties.
Here is an animated gif that I assembled with a known specimen and the OP's specimen for comparison purposes: [IMG]
Lol... anyone remember this posting? Howdy....and have I got a story for you! Here's a hint... [IMG]
See below posted overlaid images in my next post. The '4' is more (but not equally) congruent to the OP's specimen: [IMG]
whoa. okie dokie.
Can you resubmit with a sharper image that's a close-up of the date?
In all seriousness, here's a side by side comparison with one from my cabinet. The first is the Umo's. At initial glance, the only difference I...
LOL... The South wanted to bankrupt the North by flooding its economy with billions of dollars in fake French bronze!! :rolleyes:
Doug - that's why I thought it was quite a bit... what do you think about what Breen reported as to the variances being so far apart?
Nice specimen!
You're welcome. If you're really heck-bent on having this specimen authenticated, I'd recommend sending in to a TPG. And even then, if comes...
Actually, IMO that's quite a bit. But you're still okay I believe. Breen reports that specimens should be 96±4 grains, or 6.221±0.259 grams ≈...
Separate names with a comma.
