<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2268672, member: 1892&quot;]There were 2 obverse and 5 reverse dies used for 1870-CC. This coin, if real, uses Obverse 1, noted by the positions of the 1 and 7. It looks - near as I can tell from the images - pretty close to correct for the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse, maybe not so much. Obverse 1 paired only with Reverses A, C &amp; D, and Reverse A is the only one with a close-spaced mint mark like the reverse here. But, by comparison to 1-A examples at Heritage, I don&#039;t believe the mint mark orientation to be correct on this coin, and I&#039;m tentatively calling it fake regardless of (rightful) concerns with the look of the obverse strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sharper images would be required for any greater certainty. Mom, have a look here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/6964" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/6964" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/6964</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Q. David describes the varieties quite nicely. Heritage has high-res attributed images in their archive to help you solidify your opinion in person, rather than depending on us. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
