dvw1974 Valued Member United Kingdom 74 Posts	Posted 10/02/2015 1:14 pm Hi All, I recently bought a 1797 Cart wheel 2 pence coin in near uncirculated condition. As far as I know the lettering on this type of coin is "incused" and not "raised". The specimen I have, has raised lettering ie both the date, BRITANNIA, GEORGIUS III etc is raised lettering. Is this correct? or am I sitting with a fake? Thanks * Edited by Staff to remove YELLING. All capital letters is the internet version of yelling. Please don't do it in titles or posts. * Edited by dvw1974 10/02/2015 1:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jjwabraham Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 9:28 pm It is a fake in my opinion. I have had and sold several and you are correct, the lettering is always incuse. Real ones are made of pure copper and are very soft. Consequently, every bang, ding, and rim bruise is very easily inflicted and one in that condition would have had to have been put away (and left untouched) on its first day of issue.
