<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 408801, member: 15062&quot;]Here&#039;s what a good one looks like.&nbsp; There are a few things that look kind of funky but most are the same on yours and the known good one - the bottom of the shield doesn&#039;t point directly to the bottom point of the star, the top of the shield seems shifted a little to the right, the circle above the diamond in the C is misshapen, etc.&nbsp; Yours has a little hook in the bottom loop of the three in the date but I can&#039;t tell if that is duplicated in the good one; it could just be damage.&nbsp; The only thing that looks strange to me is the spacing between the top serifs on the adjacent I&#039;s in the III; yours look angled, the good ones look parallel.&nbsp; Also, if you count the horizontal lines in the shield, there should be eight, with the top one just seen as short lines in the loops of the scrollwork.&nbsp; Yours doesn&#039;t seem to have that eighth line in the left scroll loop, but that loop on yours seems damaged so the line might be obliterated.</p><p><img src="http://www.coinfacts.com/three_cents/three_cents_silver/1853_trime_obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.coinfacts.com/three_cents/three_cents_silver/1853_trime_rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
