OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 04/05/2014 4:45 pm If it's a fake. it's well done. Not crisp, but doesn't have the cartoonish look of most copies. Does anyone have a full set of photos of the varieties to attribute it?. If it doesn't match any, then we would know if it isn't real. Also, knowing the weight would help.

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 04/05/2014 6:51 pm The tilt of the B to the right makes me think this is 1799 obverse 4, which was used on varieties BB-156, 157, 161, 162, 163, and 164. The reverse for 163 looks close, but we just don't have a good enough reverse pic. If the reverse matches none of those varieties, we may be lucky enough to have a counterfeiter who took impressions from different coins and mixed them up. Report this Post to the Staff

Goods New Member Japan 11 Posts	Posted 04/06/2014 05:53 am Hey guys, I took a few more photos. Sorry, they're still not the best, I think I need to get my hands on a scanner. But I also weighed the coin and unfortunately the weight comes in at 24g... EDIT - Woah those images came out tiny. Sorry, not my intention.
