Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 268 Posts	Posted 04/10/2024 10:30 pm I purchased the first coin displayed below about a year ago and it had a dent in the right wing in the middle of the fourth and fifth feather. I had never seen any FE like this in Snow's 22 varieties. Recently, I was looking over the coin and noticed that the reverse had some attributes. The lower leg of the E in CENT was almost faded away and the top right leg of the N in CENT was nearly faded out. Recently, I found three coins on ebay that had the same attributes and I have displayed them below. This tells me that there was a die pair that at least made 4 coins. Has anyone ever seen other examples of this coin? My Coin: Other Examples: Report this Post to the Staff

Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 268 Posts	Posted 04/11/2024 12:32 am Great article on Fakes. Yes I thought this was suspicious and potentially a Fake. the dark red color and the porous surface got me thinking spark erosion. Thanks for the Fake Link. Report this Post to the Staff

Jimbo48 Valued Member United States 268 Posts	Posted 04/11/2024 7:11 pm I sent an mail to the ebay seller with the fake link and the seller said the coins were only corroded and not fakes. I don't think the seller reviewed the link so the coins are still up for auction. Report this Post to the Staff
