Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 11/12/2008 9:37 pm The design of these has always struck me as being far ahead of their time. There is just something about that textured background that just does not seem 19th century. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 11/13/2008 02:32 am Agreed--the reverse with 5 centimes somehow looks post-WWI, possibly all the geometric shapes. Report this Post to the Staff

stratocaster Valued Member United Kingdom 240 Posts	Posted 11/21/2008 2:27 pm Is there a die crack or some sort of strike error at 7 o'clock on the obverse between the star and the 1 from 1863? It almost looks like a double struck date Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 11/21/2008 2:58 pm stratocaster, good eye! I think that die crack is pretty distinctive, and as for the other mark--I thought it might be a die clash from the reverse? Report this Post to the Staff
