<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 878055, member: 19165"]Quite possibly Duke. I was more posting it for a comparison to your piece. Do you understand what I mean when I say that yours doesn't have the right "feel" to it? Its not any one specific thing I can put my finger on and point out to you (these dollars are not my area either), but its the whole look of the coin. The best thing I can point out is the hair detail, surface roughness (indicative of casting), and strange areas of weakness. The dentils further worry me. The lines in the shield look strange - too sharp and crisp, and the fields in between are too smooth. The lines in the feathers are unusually strong, and many of the details just look... wrong. Study the authentic examples on Heritage, and you'll get a feel for what I'm talking about. </p><p><br /></p><p>Keep us posted with what happens when you send it in - but I'm not expecting this to come back genuine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
