The missing neck truncation loop does not bother me. It is weak on several of the obverses for this year (including the B-1 BB-21 obv) and I have several images of genuine coins of differnt varieties where the loop is missing. The missing berry is the bigger question. That berry is strong on the B-1 BB-21 rev so I would be surprised if that feature, and only that feature should be missing. Other than that missing berry the coin is a perfect match for the B-1 BB-21 variety. If it is a fake they HAD to create the dies from the B-1 BB-21 variety. The reverse die does not match any other reverse of this type in the bust dollar series

I'm still very interested in whether or not this coin is authentic. A puzzle...

Although I stopped buying coins on ebay a few years back, this coin was very interesting. After some communication with the seller I'm fairly certain he is not knowingly passing a fake. He acquired it in 1994 from (what he described as) a reputable dealer in upstate NY, collected raw coins primarily and "cracked" out others he purchased. There is a 14 day return so I'm sure it will be going back after confirmation. Hope to post better/clearer photos soon for our consideration/evaluation. Thank you for posting matthewvincent. Off to work! |

Crossing my fingers for you, Rayman! I gave serious consideration to doing the same, taking a chance...
Are you going to sending to some third party or other expert for an opinion?

After I show it to a local dealer for his opinion, I could take it to Randy at ICG if it was necessary. I feel comfortable they could confirm if genuine. Sending it off to NGC might be cutting it close.

Its a very nice coin and I hope its real. Someday I hope to own one. It would be really exciting to have a new variety discovered by a CCFer on such an old coin. I shall be watching /drooling on this thread. Heres to hoping!  |
