Fake 1794 made from a 1795 T-1/O.119. The 1795 pictured is also a copy from a host 1795 T-1 die marriage, other than the copy stamp, the raised...
Nice coin. From the obverse die stage, it appears to be O.116/T-20 die stage 2, almost DS-3. However, the obverse working die was used once...
[ATTACH] A little worn but I like it! [IMG]
