[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 12585906, member: 19165"]So, I think the thing that stood out the most to me was the ridge of the eagle's wings, and the central spine of the leaves and arrows. The eagle's wings are almost comical. So... this coin does not appear to be a copy of a genuine coin, based on these detail differences. But, the pimples seem to indicate a cast coin. Is this an example of a hand-engraved copy die that was then used to cast counterfeits?[/QUOTE]
