I just looked through the Breen encyclopedia at the 1846 dollar in particular. A few interesting characteristics are known for this coin. The date comes in two varieties. Without actually viewing the coin, it is a little hard to explain how to id them. I am sorry yours turned out to be a fake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
