[QUOTE="oval_man, post: 1107271, member: 22602"]After correcting the cropping of the images, I've placed crosshairs over the obverse and reverse to find their centers. I've inverted and flipped the reverse so that the obverse can be superimposed over it. The area marked in green on the obverse is very near the center and does not line up with the area marked in red on the reverse, which is farther from the center. [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww128/ovalman/1808Obv.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww128/ovalman/1808Rev.jpg[/IMG] On the other hand, compare the E in LIBERTY on the obverse of this coin to an E taken from an undisturbed 1808 dollar: [IMG]http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww128/ovalman/1808E.jpg[/IMG] The bottom "bar" of the E should be noticeably longer than the top bar, as seen in this photo. This typeface is designed this way. In the E on the dollar in question, the bottom bar is the same length as the top bar, which is incorrect. You can also look at the E's in UNITED STATES on the reverse of this coin to see the extended bottom bar on each of them.[/QUOTE]
