SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 10/21/2012 2:45 pm Two things to note about the example labeled as a "modern reproduction" on that page, DVCollector, which relate to the two examples here. First, the top of the lower serif of the "S" appears horizontal on the reproduction, and angled on SmallEagle's coin. Second, the bitemark out of the right serif of the "A." Aside the stroke of the "S," which is a smoking gun to begin with. Looks like the OP seller ended the auction, hopefully for the right reasons. Their Feedback was excellent, and they're a coin specialist, so I'm inclined to be optimistic. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/21/2012 3:29 pm Yes, I saw a lot of small details that had me going Perhaps it's a skill I picked up from collecting ancients, but the whole "fabric" of the coin is wrong too--despite the perhaps intentional corrosion to mask the appearance of modern manufacturing.
