This thread has been covering a lot of topics centered around the OP's coin and question but I would like to try to address @GoldFinger1969 's...

+1. I got taken in by their photos a couple of years back and vowed never again.
I'm one of those that voted 63 because I thought the marks on Booker's face were hits. I'm always happy to be wrong when I learn something from...

This looks like the B-2 die marriage, R-2, the second most common of the die marriages of 1835. All the diagnostics you mentioned as being...
I just returned home from the first day of the Lakeland Collect-O-Rama Show. I thought it was about as well attended and stocked with dealers as...
