[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3012448, member: 78244"]Now with my foot in my mouth (and looking at a screen bigger than my phone), here are some issues I see that make me question authenticity: [ATTACH=full]747255[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]747256[/ATTACH] First things first, the left 1803 coin is a half dollar. There seems to be a little die break in the 0. Cursory glance into the varieties for this year says that does not exist. On the 1803 dollar, there is a major die clash on the obverse. Again, a cursory glance through the known varieties suggest this never happened. Aslo, if it was on the high points, whould it not have gotten worn away first? Perplexing. On the reverse, there seem to be toolmarks in the rim below the eagle. The rim on the obverse appears to have a lip, suggesting a possible collar strike. The obverse on the 1798 seems to have toolmarks to the left of the date, and the dentils around the obverse, particularly below the date, look quite odd.[/QUOTE]
