<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 482584, member: 112&quot;]The bumpy devices are the most obvious, but as has been said I&#039;m pretty sure that is due to a very rusted die. There are only a few indications of the same on the reverse. At first I even thought that perhaps the coin was a counterfeit as the rims are bumpy on both sides. But that reverse kinda talked me out of that. It&#039;s still possible though I guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>The date had me worried too as it appears to have maybe been altered, like a 3 into a 9. But the 1843-O has a much lower mintage so that is not likely. But I wonder if the date (9) has not been repaired.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rough blob on the edge (11 o&#039;clock on the reverse) I figured might have been where the edge was filled after embossing the date change. But since I ruled that out as being likely I can only assume that it is silver solder left over from a jewelry attachment. And there are other spots on the rim that might indicate the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really don&#039;t see any signs of tooling, but it does have the look of being cleaned and retoned, most likely chemically.</p><p><br /></p><p>So how&#039;d we do Larry ? Any of these guesses on the money so to speak ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
