<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NSP, post: 3923632, member: 74849&quot;]I’m not sure where the pimples are, but die rust is a definite possibility for explaining them away. Since this die would’ve been three years old by the time it was used (since both 1825 obverse dies are 1825/4/2 overdates), it definitely could’ve suffered corrosion/pitting before it was used. I doubt the Mint’s rust preventives were all that good in the 1820s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be exceedingly shocked if this coin was a fake and I would go buy a hat to attempt to eat if it was proven to be a counterfeit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
