Totally agree. Another tell of Business Strike for this coin is the weak lettering of STA/STATES, the E/EPU and the lack of steps on the reverse....
IMO…not a good design at all. It seems the designer ran out of ideas and ended up throwing something together. Compare, if you will, the classy...
Post a full image of the reverse. Right now, only you know what the reverse looks like…Spark
@Joshua Lemons …great stuff! Thanks for clearing this up. Because it is clearly the mule, what is the ballpark value on this?…Spark
…and when people buy from desperation their judgment becomes impaired. imo…Spark
@SensibleSal66 …I believe this data chart has incorrect values…discovered a month or two ago. I just refer folks to a Yeoman Red Book…Spark @Dan...
Probably MS60-Details at best, imo. The general rule I’ve heard over the last 6 years is the coin needs to be worth around $150-200 to support...

By those dimensions: 24 square meters = 6 meters by 4 meters. MASSIVE. For those who want to know, this equates to (roughly) 20 feet long and 13...
I think it’s damage. I’ve not seen a variety of doubled ear like this before, and based on the rest of the flattening of the design by 23 years...
MS65…that’s my story and I’m sticking to it…Spark
I agree…it looks like a 1929-S…imo…Spark
Cheech…yes it is. Google: “1873 open 3 vs closed 3”. This will give you pictures showing the difference…Spark
There’s a probable disparity between your scales and theirs. The current ask for gold is $1924.35, and that equates to a difference of $5.77...
I agree with @ToughCOINS …I see evidence of wear on the eyebrow, nostril, chin and the hair curl in the center of the neck…also see the cleaning...
Yes, but 2 time periods, 2 different emperors. @Heavymetal 1736-1795 Qian Long Tong Bao on the coin = Ch’ien-lung T’ung-pao (Emperor). KM#391....
