<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 328583, member: 1242&quot;]Eduard,</p><p><br /></p><p>I hate to say it but I have a bad feeling about the coin! There is just too much wear on the coin to warrant the amount of Red left on the coin...especially on the Reverse and Vice Versa (too much Red to warrant the amount of wear). The flaws in the planchet on the Obverse along the rim from 2:30 to 3:30 and along and in front of Miss Liberty&#039;s neck makes me believe that a crude Die was made to strike the coin. Also, the weakness on quite a bit of the Lettering inside the rims although the rims and ticking appear mainly intact, is another little detail that doesn&#039;t appear right. Then, there is the actual color of the planchet which makes me believe that it was struck on a off-composition planchet. I edited the pictures and have provided two of each (Obverse and Reverse) below. The first pictures of the Obverse and Reverse have only been cropped to take out any excess background, while the second pictures of the Obverse and Reverse were cropped, brightened and contrast added. The added contrast really highlights the off-composition color of the planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that I am wrong and that the coin is geniune! Maybe some others will have a different take on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
