<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3566488, member: 19463&quot;]The reverse punch is rather off center but I can&#039;t tell if it is shown 12H or 6H axis.&nbsp; If inverted you can see a lot of metal that did not get struck which might explain the weakness of the strike on the bow.&nbsp; The coin is more commonly found struck on an oval flan with the upright diameter the greater rather than crosswise as here.&nbsp; This is not a concern when it comes to authenticity but the coin would be struck better if they had lined up the punch, the&nbsp; die and the flan all in the same orientation.&nbsp; You have a weak trace of the bow (compare below) which is not a strong point of the coin but you also have a crown on flan which most certainly is.&nbsp; These are common coins but examples well centered and well struck with all the parts clear are not as common as we would like.&nbsp; Overall, I&#039;d call yours a nice coin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]948937[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
