Congrats on the unique coins! :) I don't see the obverse die match. Compare the noses, the fullness and slope of the chins, the ears, the...
What a surreal thread! @arashpour, when I read this exchange I assumed you were making a joke but now I see you are serious?! That is not a...
Emmett's catalog number for the type is 541; Geissen number is 535.
