It is most certainly not die 81 because your token has LIBERTY in the head-dress. Die 81 has beads in the head-dress. Look at the die example of...
Are you trying to identify the dies of the token images you have posted? If so, that token appears to be dies 79 and 351. The cannons/flag/drum...
Think what you want. I believe in facts and the picture speaks louder than your worthless banter.
Are you related to @mrbrooklyn. Who used to post here. Your insight is about on par with his. Based on the image provided the metal isn't just...
Post mint damage doesn't add metal to a coin. The only feasible way that blob of extra metal is there is if it was a chip out of the die. I don't...
Says who? I am quite certain that is a die chip on the mint mark...
PS- you answered a question never asked by the OP. Maybe you're missing that point? Lol

As a follow-up, let me post a coin here that for most photographers on eBay would come across as having a black reverse. But, the coin is...

I only have one, but here is an example of a Pidcock's Token as mentioned by @Tom B . [IMG]
I like this Albanian coin with a Lion. [IMG]
Ok, fair enough. I still think you're comparing apples to oranges. How about this lovely "rainbow toned gem" you currently have for sale on...
If you like ships on coins, you should check on this set that a member over on the NGC forums has created. It's very cool! Here are a couple...
While the OP's coin has darkish toning, it is no where near the level of the example you posted. The reverse of the OP's coin looks lustrous and...
Sad news. Condolences to family and friends. :(
