Great find! It's good they didn't try to mark it with a counterfeit pen for looking like "funny money."
I never knew that existed! It looks like a treasure trove of knowledge. Thanks for sharing that.
I got Steve Tompkins' Early United States Quarters as a Christmas present, and I have to say it is quite the book. It is very informative and...
Is it genuine?
I'm actually not sure. And to be honest I don't even know what I'm looking for! I've looked at pictures of 1825 C-1's but I've never been able to...

It appears that the 1809 and 1811/09 obverses are not the same die. Check out these links:...
