xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 10/09/2013 7:38 pm Hi all I'm trying to figure out if this coin is genuine. What immediately looked odd to me was the G in his name on the obverse. If it's counterfeit, it would be good to know if it's contemporary or modern. Thoughts? thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 10/09/2013 8:20 pm Thanks.. I was real curious since I've never seen one with a letter missing parts like this, especially when the surrounding parts are so strong. philadelphian, I'm not sure.. the pictures are on photobucket.com - are you able to view pictures hosted there?

loose54 Valued Member United Kingdom 51 Posts	Posted 10/19/2013 08:08 am Hi there, not only is this coin genuine but it appears that it may be the rarer unbarred A's in BRITANNIA variety which would add some value. You would need to look closely with a lense to see if they are just weakly struck or non-existant but probably worth doing for the price difference! Report this Post to the Staff
