[QUOTE="Jack D. Young, post: 8347707, member: 93371"]At the 2022 EAC Convention in St. Louis I had a table with 2 cases of my "educational" coins for display and discussion. [ATTACH=full]1480746[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1480747[/ATTACH] One of the examples was my 1812 large cent counterfeit, a member of a "family" of fakes I wrote about in this forum and had an article published by Coin Week. [ATTACH=full]1480749[/ATTACH] Late Saturday a gentleman came by with 2 examples he asked I review; they were from a collection of coins he was assisting to sell and both had been marked as "electrotypes". [ATTACH=full]1480751[/ATTACH] He said he was showing them around to dealers there and suggested he bring them to me, but was told I just focused on counterfeits, not electros:D... Anyway, I was initially surprised by the surfaces of both, as there was light luster on both which my images don't show, but the surfaces were better than others I had seen. The next thing I noticed was the exact "beaded border" obverse appearance as all seen, and the "chip" in front of the face as well. [ATTACH=full]1480756[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1480757[/ATTACH] Inspecting the edges there was no trace of a seam, but both were very squared off/ flat, and the rims sharp enough to practically shave with. So I showed and explained these elements and pulled my example from the case for comparison. He thanked me and said he had a couple of others he wanted to show them to, but came back later to take images of his and mine together. He then donated them to the growing teaching collection![/QUOTE]
