<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carlos Jara, post: 1284278, member: 14961&quot;]Hi to all: </p><p>Trying to identify the silver undercoin over which a cuban medal is struck, I have so far concluded that the undercoin is a half dime, either of 1796-97 or 1838-1853: visible are parts of the legend &quot;&quot;UN... STA.. OF AM...ICA&quot; and a wreath underneath it. In addition, three stars of the circular legend are visible on the other side of the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My reasoning: </p><p><br /></p><p>- the legend &quot;United States of America&quot; coupled with the wreath underneath it, and the stars on the other side, rule out the under coin to be any of the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>- capped bust: these have no wreath.</p><p>- seated liberty with no stars: these have no stars.</p><p><br /></p><p>My questions: the close placement of the &quot;F&quot; and &quot;A&quot; in &quot;OF AMERICA&quot; and the style of the wreath seem to rule out the 1796-1797 possibility. Do you concur? In addition, the coin has a coin rotation. </p><p>What is the rotation of the 1796-1797 issues? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
