It is bright red and some of the raised devices are just plain flashy. It has uncirculated details. It has very (very) minimal luster in the fields which makes me think that it was either plated or a very (very) early strike. It has die clash of the obverse on the reverse. It weighs 4.46 grams and the business strike should be closer to 3.3 grams according to Krause.</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Is it die struck? platted? counterfeit? pattern? or die trial piece?</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman">I don’t own the coin. Today I sent it to NGC with a batch of world coins. The owner wanted to spend the $20 for NGC’s opinion which we should have in 2 or 3 weeks. </font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Let me know what you think of the coin &amp; please post any ideas you have about the coin.</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman">Very best regards,</font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman">collect89</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
