<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Grey184, post: 1878575, member: 59047&quot;]I read it last fall. I&#039;ve only been collecting and reading since last summer, and therefore am not quite confident to offer anything other than an informative link. However you&#039;ve inspired me to make a go at pointing out a couple of things that don&#039;t seem right. So I&#039;m gonna give it a shot.</p><p>For a type 2 which was the only obverse used in 1878. According to the link anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The eye jumps out at me as well. Looks like a simple pin hole.</p><p><br /></p><p>The eagle&#039;s mouth on a genuine coin is open all the way back where the jaw hinge, or beak hinge might be, directly under the eye. There is a good pic of this on the link. So...</p><p><br /></p><p>2. The picture on this thread shows the mouth (beak) closed about halfway back (a simple line) to where it ends under the eye.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s all I have. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
