A little difficult to tell given the small images, but Pareidolia seems to be doing its magic. Agree with Spence.

Agree with the upthread. Pareidolia within the toning/staining. What you are proposing is not possible, given how long those dies were out of use.

That's quite a stretch. Think about now how large a draped bust cent is - all the devices couldn't possibly fit on the face of a tiny Wheat cent.

Glad you can ask us, . with the above, paridolia coming into play; it can do strange tricks with our eyes.
Rest in Peace

What ever stain is there, it is on the surface of the coin. On the real deal, it would be raised on that area. I'm not seeing anything on your coin.

Certainly one of the most illogical proposals I've ever seen on this forum.

He never said a draped bust cent, he just said a draped bust. And with the size of the coin, and the color he was probably intending a draped bust DIME.

Of course it isn't and it is still Pareidolia.

I agree with Mr. kbbpll
Quote:
Does it stick to a magnet? Then it can't be overstruck on a 1798 coin.


In my opinion, if it's struck over other coins, there is a couple things to consider.

1. Diameter (must smaller then the original coins, but no more than 1-2 mm.
2. Material (same material)
3. Edge
4. The position/Coin alignment. Observe and Reverse.
5. Weigh
6. Thickness

Regard,
Solo
