<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 6538597, member: 110350&quot;]Nice coin! There&#039;s no difference among the designs for 363/1a-1d. They differ only in the existence and/or placement of the control-symbols. 1a has control-symbols on both sides. 1b has a control-symbol only on the obverse. 1c has a control-symbol only on the reverse. 1d has no control-symbol on either side. My own example of 363 is 1d because there are no visible control marks on either side, although there&#039;s a faint indication on the obverse of what might be a worn-off control-symbol, which would make mine 1b. I see no control marks on either side of yours, so it&#039;s probably 1d.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect that the marks where the beginning of the reverse legend should be are indeed countermarks, bankers&#039; marks, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin looks genuine to me. I&#039;m no expert on tooling, but the outlines of the designs don&#039;t look unusually sharp to me, despite the wear on the high points of the design. Besides, tooling is, if I understand correctly, not nearly as common on silver coins as it is on bronze coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
