<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 521080, member: 112&quot;]Just talking out loud here, and I will gladly defer to those with more experience in early copper than me.

It was either struck with the rustiest dies I have ever seen or it is a cast fake. In particular look at the area around the date, the right field and the hair. Even the headband is extremely rough. On the reverse the areas around the legends and even the leaves themselves - all of these areas are completely covered with small raised bumps.</p><p><br /></p><p>I truly hate to cast aspersions on the coin, but that is what I see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
