<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7634413, member: 101855&quot;]I arrived at the party too late. All of the photos have been deleted. Here is the coin that is in my one a year set. NGC graded this one AU-50 about 20 years ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1313180[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I gather that the fake, which is shown in the links, is related to the deleted pieces in the OP. That one is an obvious fake because the bust in off-center to the left. The feature is only known on a 1795 dated variety. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is also known as &quot;the vampire variety&quot; because there are two pits on Ms. Liberty&#039;s neck that on the coin the counterfeiters used to make their copy. The same marks show up again and again. I saw this fake at a coin club meeting for the first time many years ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>The guy who showed this piece to me got PO&#039;d at me when I told him it was no good. He had paid $200 for it on the Internet and really thought that he a bargain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
