<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tomfiggy, post: 1856842, member: 51884&quot;]1-The area between the hair and the top of the head is separated with a groove that runs from the front of the forehead and wraps around the back of the head pushing the hair and face apart, on the reverse there is a corresponding discolored arch as if something curved like a clip from another planched damaged the coin and or die by falling in between them. The top of the head is stretched making the head taller.</p><p><br /></p><p>2- the lips are doubled and the beard is doubled of tripled.</p><p><br /></p><p>3- the back of the bust is raised higher as is evidenced by the larger wider slope going down to the flat part of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>4- the doubling on the face and the cut through the head makes the head larger than a normal coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>5- the edges around the collar, and the front of the bust are diffuse making it hard to define the edges with a similar effect all around the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The whole coin was covered in green rot so much as to cover most of the bust, head, and face. I didn&#039;t look right so I soaked it in mineral oil for a month to get all the crud off so if it was altered it was a long time ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>6- the lettering around the outside of the coin are intact, so whatever happened to the bust didn&#039;t get the edges only the center.</p><p>- the entire head is larger than a normal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
