<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1592350, member: 66"]It can also come from heat as well. And this one is scary good but it is a fake (or a previously unknown variety which is EXTREMELY unlikely.) The point of leaf is sliightly past center of the second S in STATES. N-8 is the ONLY 1828 variety with that position nothing else even comes close. But when you compare the other leaf positions to -8 they are very close but a couple of them are off. And when you look at the obverse note that star 6 points just slightly to the right of the point of the coronet. On ALL of the 1828's star 6 points either directly at the point of the coronet or slightly LEFT of the point. After that I compared the relationship of the other star points to the denticals and they do not match and of the 12 varieties of 1828. But if you don't do a variety attribution this would probably fool most of the dealers out there (at least from these images.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
