<p>[QUOTE=&quot;billpocz, post: 1672217, member: 43934&quot;]iGrade and TomB,</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for sharing knowledge about this coin! </p><p><br /></p><p>You guys are talking about weight tolerances, and in the early 1800&#039;s, was that even measured closely? It is not like they could place a newly stamped coin on their electronic scale, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>The knowledge inherently displayed by folks on this board truly amazes me... You guys are talking about parts of the Bust Half coin design that have obviously been extensively researched and to me it is fascinating that so much information is out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am NOT saying in any way that this coin is counterfeit (as I truly do not have that level of knowledge - yet!), but is there a higher probability that finding one of these at say a show or shop could be? </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a few books on Peace Dollars (which I am learning about)... Does anyone have any good reference texts about these coins? </p><p><br /></p><p>Please keep this discussion going - it is very interesting!</p><p><br /></p><p>OP, do you have any more information about your acquiring the coin or other history of it? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, Bill</p><p><br /></p><p>(OK, I&#039;ll admit I want one... :thumb<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
