<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 350321, member: 12965&quot;]Those two &quot;heavy contact marks&quot; are what concerns me as well but I&#039;m not sure they are contact marks. There are also other marks on the reverse just above 9 o&#039;clock (almost an &quot;X&quot;) that show up on both (replica and my coin) but similar marks are on the coin with the two spikes but more closer to 9 o&#039;clock. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Other than having the coin graded the only thing that will convince me my coin is real is to find a &quot;real one&quot; with the &quot;heavy marks&quot; identical to mine, especially the heavy mark on the shoulder since that mark is also on a 1796 replica I found on Ebay as are several other marks but that could be due to duplicating the replicas from one coin and it happened to be the &quot;sister&quot; to my 1795 DBD.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit,</p><p>Toad&nbsp; :smile</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: I have found one real coin (graded) that had a shoulder mark like mine but it wasn&#039;t as long. I&#039;m wondering if it might have gotten worse over time, as such is usually the case with wear on dies?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
