<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 12950296, member: 28550&quot;]In trying to ID the variety, I&#039;m having some trouble understanding the tail feather distinctions. Can anyone explain that to me? </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I noticed is that the serifs on the legend seem to vary pretty wildly. This counterstruck piece has letters that rarely end in flat capitals (usually with forked feet instead). The closest I&#039;ve found with similar pattern is the H41a. The R in &quot;BURG&quot; and the A in &quot;AVST&quot; are what I&#039;m keying into. But, the A in &quot;ARCHID&quot; also has forked legs, which is not the case in H41a. </p><p><a href="http://www.theresia.name/cgi-bin/Token.cgi?Item=H41a" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.theresia.name/cgi-bin/Token.cgi?Item=H41a" rel="nofollow">http://www.theresia.name/cgi-bin/Token.cgi?Item=H41a</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1528904[/ATTACH]</p><p>I also noticed that the dots between the S.F. on the obverse are not level with the lower register. Instead, they are more like the upper dot of a colon (S:F: but without the lower dot). </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1528905[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.theresia.name/cgi-bin/Token.cgi?Item=H41a" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.theresia.name/cgi-bin/Token.cgi?Item=H41a" rel="nofollow">http://www.theresia.name/cgi-bin/Token.cgi?Item=H41a</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If anything, the markers I keyed into seem to be repeated on H97, which is also a counterstamped piece, but the resource I found notes that the host coin appears to be post 1945 (possibly a fantasy piece?):</p><p><a href="http://www.theresia.name/cgi-bin/Token.cgi?Item=H97" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.theresia.name/cgi-bin/Token.cgi?Item=H97" rel="nofollow">http://www.theresia.name/cgi-bin/Token.cgi?Item=H97</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
