<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 920758, member: 66"]If you are familiar with how this series looks you would see a LOT of errors in it. The bust is mishappen, the lettering font is wrong, the font of the date is wrong, the stars are too small, and NONE of the 1804 dollars had a reeded edge. (Class I coins have a crushed lettered edge from having the planchet lettered and then being struck in a plain close collar. The unique Class II coin has a plain edge. The Class III coins were struck in the plain close collar and then had the edges lettered AFTER striking. The class III coins are probably the examples of the unauthorized restriking of the 1804 dollar that got out in the late 1850's that the mint recovered from the buyers. Those coins were all Class II coins. later the edges were lettered and they were distributed by the Mints favorite coin dealers William Idler and Capt John Haseltine. The pedigrees of all of the Class III coins except one can be traced back to that dealership. The only one that can't is the Linderman coin that came from the Mint Directors own personal collection.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
