[QUOTE="bsowa1029, post: 24555244, member: 34652"]Thanks for posting those images here. That is a series I’m not extremely familiar with. The detail on the obverse does look pretty soft, but for such a small coin with some wear I think some softness might be normal? I know you know your stuff so I definitely trust your judgement! Just did some comparison on CoinFacts. All three examples shown for 1865 show six horizontal lines versus the four on the eBay example. Another glaring difference in comparison is the detail in the kernels(?) of the wheat on the reverse. Fake has a very “dotty” appearance while the genuine examples have an overall more natural look. I’m sure there are many more differences that can be pointed out but those are the few that stood out to me…I didn’t even compare the letters or numbers.[/QUOTE]
