Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/12/2019 09:33 am Doh, you're right. Starting over, the date logo on this example looks larger than images I can find of the original, but perhaps that's due to the angle of the pic.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/12/2019 11:56 am It is a fake Half Cent. Look at the point of the curl over the 8. On the OP coin it is over the center of the 8, on both the original and restrike proofs it is between the inner and outer left curves of the 8. And I agree the date is a little larger than it should be. Edited by Conder101 07/12/2019 11:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
