[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8231174, member: 110226"]It worked! Thanks. So far, as I look at the myriad types, the obverse of this coin, listed on VCoins, seems to come closest for the obverse: [IMG]https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/79/Y/6/yB6F8oNxD4AnFQi3eo7H5jGJbBp294.jpg[/IMG] I've been focusing on the eagle's head and wings. I find the treatment of those on my coin odd and quite crude, but here is another coin that approximates that treatment. Obviously getting a die match is virtually nil. I notice that the fields are quite flat with my coin, with only a slight concave surface on the eagle-standards side, which I assume was the hammer die. I don't think my coin is a cast, no sign of filing or a gate on the edge. And, the graininess of the fields is due in part to the Photoshop shake reduction feature that I used for the photo. Bottom line: still thinking....[/QUOTE]
