<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pete Doelger, post: 5205867, member: 116475&quot;]Hoping someone could offer a suggestion on a Pattern piece I recently acquired.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is (I believe) a 1879 dollar (J-1621). It came raw from a very significant 18th century collection. As you can see, it has problems. The original old holder identified it as the lead variety and possibly unique. The Judd book lists a lead variety as sold at Bowers and Merena in Nov 1985 as a <b><i>PF Corr</i></b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I sent it to NGC but they refused to grade it due to condition. I then sent it to PCGS. They returned it as a “Counterfeit”. Think they be mistaken on this one.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>My question is – Does anyone know who would be considered an expert in this area?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Would love to get another opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks - Pete</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1215141[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1215142[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1215141[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1215142[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1215141[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1215142[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
