[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3021687, member: 56859"]Posting it to Forvm sounds like a good idea. A hasty check of ACsearch using search terms "bodenstedt 52" gave 650 hits, mostly other types, but scanning for reverse matches yielded a dozen coins. There may be more in mixed lots which didn't show both sides. The reverse figure on your coin has a two distinctive long locks of hair in back. Not all of the Bodenstedt 52 coins have the long-in-back hair. I used that feature to quickly scan for matches. I haven't scrutinized them further, particularly the obverses, but at a glance some of the obverses are from a different die. There are some duplicates in the results pictured below which I failed to notice when making the composite. SevAlex's coin is top left and the Forvm coin is to the right of it. Most have similiar degrees of wear. I'm not expert enough to know if any conclusions can be drawn from this. The oldest example shown below was from a 2002 G&M auction. Most were from 2015-2017.
