<p>[QUOTE=&quot;l.cutler, post: 1566903, member: 13318&quot;]OK, got it.&nbsp; There are 104 variations of Martin&#039;s obverse 4.&nbsp; The coin in question is obverse 4.1, it is also a later die state, identifiable by the size of the small die chip behind the head. This is where it gets disapointing, Martin states that Peter Rosa used this obverse to make counterfeits, often with incorrect dates.&nbsp; He also states that he has in his collection Rosa counterfeit harp left coins dated 1723 and 1724 with obverse 4.1.&nbsp; Rosa operated as Becker Manufacturing company and made these coins from 1955 to 1990.&nbsp; There is a 1723 harp left Becker copy pictured that appears to be identical to the coin here right down to the apparent die crack above the seated figures head.&nbsp; I would say it is almost certainly a Becker copy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
