<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C-B-D, post: 3193005, member: 43130&quot;]The coin in your post is not a die stuck counterfeit as I understand it. First, the date is oversized and the wrong styled digits. Second, the lettering style is not correct for an 1856. It should have a block O in OF and thinner letters overall. Thirdly, there appears to be casting roughness over the whole coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, a die struck counterfeit would be a coin made using dies from a genuine host coin. Meaning, someone created dies using a genuine 1856 flying eagle cent, then used those dies to strike fakes. This isn&#039;t the case with the coin in the pics. The coin you show is just a bad fake, sloppily and improperly made, whether it was stuck or cast.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
