[QUOTE="Harry G, post: 7306911, member: 105282"]Thanks for your responses! Could it be possible that all three share a similar, but different reverse die? Looking at the base of the left foot of the third figure, they all hit the C of Felicitas at the same point. (The left side of the C) Following the I up on all three coins, they all pass through the thing in the middle of the two centre figures Only the coin I want to buy and the Sear coin have the left hand of the fourth figure clearly visible, with the CNG coin not having that (although that may be wear) The neck of the second child of the coin I want to buy and the CNG coin is quite short, while it's quite long on the Sear coin, so maybe all the dies are different? The obverse die of the coin I want to buy and the Sear coin are identical I think, with the CNG coin having a much too long neck. So if this coin uses the same reverse die as the CNG example, but the same obverse die as the Sear coin, does that imply it is genuine? A forger would have to acquire both coins to make a cast combining them. [ATTACH=full]1277515[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
