<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 512226, member: 6036&quot;]The first thing I thought about when I saw this coin is the surface. Clearly, these are not original surfaces. At best, the coin has been cleaned and is retoning.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Remember that these 1836-1839 1c had a variety of Liberty visage. These were transitional years from the Matron to the Braided Hair. This bust matches neither; it&#039;s in the evolutionary stage from one to the other. That&#039;s why it looks odd to many people.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I see nothing to question the coin&#039;s authenticity. There are many signs of worn dies, and you don&#039;t normally see that on a fake. Check out the die flow lines at 8k obverse.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think it&#039;s genuine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
