<p>[QUOTE="tmahle, post: 3839099, member: 108251"]The area's of concern I have after getting this coin from an legit seller is the second star on the upper right is different than the rest (appears not worn). There is a slight indent in the flat surface between the front of the face and the stars. On the back the rim seems slightly off and the rim beads are missing on the bottom and left appear slightly off center. Weight is a few grams below recommended weight.</p><p>I have seen other Capped Bust online with the same indent in front of the face so my question is are those also part of a mass repro. coin being sold as originals or is this real?</p><p>I tried hours of Google but not many examples of what to look for other than some dot on the back four or five lines down which I don't see nor could I see on the examples people were trying to point out.</p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I have seen other Capped Bust online with the same indent in front of the face so my question is are those also part of a mass repro. coin being sold as originals or is this real? I tried hours of Google but not many examples of what to look for other than some dot on the back four or five lines down which I don't see nor could I see on the examples people were trying to point out.
