That curl at the shoulder &quot;A&quot; was introduced in 1797 and was wide, like a curler rather than narrow like a natural curl. It&#039;s shape was similar to curl &quot;B&quot; of the original design. The curl below the ear &quot;C&quot; is also shaped differently. These are design elements of the portrait punch and would not be variant additions at the time of the original minting of Draped Bust Cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>I must say that these counterfeits are getting closer to the originals and at some point may not be as easily distinguishable as this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
