Yes, I know, and also understand you, Mr. Diamond..... Hopefully you will be able to see the "3" in these two pic's. Also if you would like, I'll send the Broadstrike and the coin in these picture's for you to examine. PM me your address and i'll send them your way.... Brad....
Again, it's undoubtedly a simulacrum. Your coin features heavy radial flow lines, a sign of advanced die wear (die fatigue, die deterioration). Any faint digit that might have been present in an early die state would most assuredly have been lost as the metal flowed.
