Bear with me. I am hoping this study will result in a book and I am somewhat reluctant to post images of verified Booth coins ahead of publication.
However, to show the superb quality of Booth's coins I have posted an image of the olive branch held by Britannia which is found on the reverse of BoE dollars. The left hand of the composite is a genuine dollar, the right a Booth forgery. The area concerned is no more than 5 x 4 mm and illustrates the consummate skill of the diesinker. Incidentally, you will never be taken in by a Booth forgery - every example I have seen has a copper show, quite apart apart from being underweight!
