<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 432578, member: 12965&quot;]The example posted from CoinArchives has a different placed legend. The mint mark on the OP coin is into the base of the left pillar and the example shown has it where they normally are, which is just above the pillars base. That creates doubt as to authenticity but maybe that year they were like that, so I&#039;d find more examples (1817) to see where their legends are. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Currently, I&#039;d have to say it&#039;s a counterfeit but I&#039;m not 100% positive.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: Acanthite makes a good point, plus, I just noticed the bust is not well stuck and considering how well struck the legends are, it looks like a transfer forgery that didn&#039;t transfer well.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
