[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 5490929, member: 105571"]The obverse on the OP's coin is most like Obverse 2 (crosslet 4, no spiked chin, widely spaced date with top of 4 nearly touching drapery. This obverse is supposed to be mated with the With Stems Reverse B. The OP's coin's reverse is Without Stems. The W/O Stems reverses are mated with Obverses 4 (closely spaced date , 4 vertical and close to 0), and 5 (plain 4). So, the OP's coin's reverse is not matched with a known obverse for that reverse. So, the op's coin looks like a fake mule because of wire rims and die pairing that does not exist. My attribution is taken from Bill Eckberg's book on half-cents. I hope I've got this right. I'd hate to be wrong twice in one week.[/QUOTE]
