<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 359643, member: 1242&quot;]Dixon,</p><p><br /></p><p>From what I have read, most of the older and contemporary Counterfeits as well as the known Restrikes have 19 buds! Now I know of three that have 17 buds and still wonder if the originals have 17 or 19 buds!? I am hoping that someone on C.T. will know the answer to the question! I wonder if the Counterfeiters that made the coins with 17 buds, had access to some of the Trial Strikes or sketches of the proposed Reverse which may have had only 17 buds!</p><p><br /></p><p>The origin and the very existance of these Counterfeits becomes more and more mysterious with each tidbit of new information offered here on C.T and elswhere. I wonder if we could get Nancy Drew to solve the mystery?!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
