[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2508034, member: 1892"]For some reason, that sort of insulting behavior is tolerated around here to an extent. I have employed the Ignore feature for the person who's been posting that, and as a result I don't see his posts. I should have looked closer to the reverse the first time around. In your much-better recent set of images, an absolute [B][I]dealbreaker[/I][/B] of a feature appears plainly - the absence of any detail in the center and at the top curve of the eagle's right (viewer's left) wing. You'll [B][I]never[/I][/B] see that on a Seated Dollar. There is [I]nothing[/I] field-level inside the wing. That's an area of relatively low relief, meaning it [I]doesn't[/I] get weakly struck, [I]doesn't[/I] wear away during the die's life, and remains clearly detailed down into VG grade on all examples of the type. The coin is counterfeit, and there is no doubt in my mind. Like I said earlier, 1842 is a popular date for it.[/QUOTE]
