[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 3450522, member: 24633"]I don't collect these, but I have to wonder if it is the "9" that is positioned wrongly or is it the rest of the date (17 3)? Note the position of the dot to the right of the "3". It seems to line up with the "9" rather than the rest of the date. Also, I do not know if the entire date is, or is not, placed on the die by hand. FWIW, I do collect a lot of 19th century French medals, and I know that the Paris Mint had to make changes for the inclusion of the "Different" (mintmark) on the edge of the medals in 1841 because of continued problems with counterfeiters. Is it possible that this coin is a counterfeit, too? These are merely my observations, not answers. Chris[/QUOTE]
