<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NSP, post: 3698376, member: 74849&quot;]Very interesting “coin.” For what it’s worth, its die marriage is JR-4, which means it is either a fake struck with dies made from a genuine coin or it is genuine. Here are some other JR-4’s in various states of preservation (all are PCGS TrueViews):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]991135[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]991136[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]991137[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>You can make out the wacky denticles near star 1 and how strong “UNUM” is even with heavy wear.

That is very odd and not a characteristic of this die marriage. That could be due to a poor counterfeiting job (if it’s fake) or due to circulation damage (if it’s real or if it’s a successful contemporary counterfeit).</p><p><br /></p><p><b>EDIT: the worn coin is a JR-9 and not a JR-4. For some reason I thought this obverse was only used in one die marriage. My bad. </b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
