<p>[QUOTE=&quot;justafarmer, post: 3051832, member: 3926&quot;]I am not an EAC guy by any stretch. But I just happen to have a rendering of what I believe to be S-5. Overlaid it on the counterfeit. I circled some additional features which may or may not be issues with the counterfeit.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Obverse - nostril on the nose doesn&#039;t appear to follow the same arc as my source coin. Arc on counterfeit traced in cyan - source coin coral.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Obverse - the mouth on the counterfeit appears to extend further into the face than it does on my source coin. Mouth on counterfeit traced in cyan - source coin coral.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe this is an area on the counterfeit source coin that exhibited extreme damage and was repaired. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. Obverse - my source coin exhibits a strong dot in the center of the design - the counterfeit does not.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Reverse - my source coin exhibits a broken crossbar in the first &quot;A&quot; of America - The counterfeit coin appears to have a full crossbar.</p><p><br /></p><p>My overlay shows how good and deceptive this counterfeit is. Even the dots around the rim appear properly spaced.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think this coin was struck by a transfer die produced in a manner we traditionally think of such a die being produced.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]763883[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]763884[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
