[QUOTE="NewStyleKing, post: 4633379, member: 106483"]Here is my today's SIMPLE die study! I investigated a coin in Stack's August 2020 auction since I have an example. The coin I know is a contemporary imitation and is in Thompson NSSCA. Yes same obverse T1419 but a new reverse. Not the same as the CNG example of new reverse but a completely new one. Interestingly this contemporary imitation is paired with 3 different Athens New Style issue types, Ares (3 reverses),Stag (1 example) and Headdress of Isis(1 example)! Ares & Stag are reasonably possible die transfers but Headdress of Isis not. Also there are carelessness in some of the details plus the general appearance of the die art that smack of Imitation. NGC who have seemed to have encapsulated the example seems to be unaware that it's an imitation! [ATTACH=full]1145777[/ATTACH] The coins; vertical from Thompson, top horizontal, Nisbet, both now T1419ba, below horizontal CNG now T1419bb, large horizontal, Stacks now T1419bc. [ATTACH=full]1145780[/ATTACH] Same obverse 3 different reverse issue types in Thompson NSSCA.[/QUOTE]
