<p>[QUOTE="TrompeLeMonde, post: 5463283, member: 117064"]I found this 1870 Y.J Sol up for auction and something looks off to me about it. The coins/berries spilling out of the cornucopia on the obverse don't match the references I found (all later versions of the coin from the early 20th century), and the surfaces are suspiciously dusty. The condition, to my inexpert eye, also seems way too good to be real. If anyone has a similar coin they know to be authentic (or fake), please post some pictures of it! I would be very grateful. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1237865[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1237866[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
