Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4471 Posts	Posted 03/09/2022 3:30 pm With your new photos, the coin will unlikely grade higher than VF Details. The wear on the obverse and reverse do not match that could be a red flag for a counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7644 Posts	Posted 03/09/2022 4:10 pm Looks like it was worn as a pendent for a long time. Report this Post to the Staff
KYCopperCoins Pillar of the Community United States 1361 Posts	Posted 03/09/2022 7:07 pm May have been mentioned. Appears to be HM-2, note the 180 degree die rotation (hole is on the top of both the obverse and reverse) disconnected berry on reverse, and also the die crack between the eagle's head and the wing running east. It appears genuine to me. Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7644 Posts	Posted 03/09/2022 10:10 pm At least the hole appears to be in a "good area" for repair (if there is such a thing!). If I were getting it fixed I'd be optimistic, confident and very patient —— AND say a few prayers on the side! I hope it goes well if you decide to pursue this adventure! Thanks for sharing!

G0000SE New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 03/10/2022 05:27 am Yea, it does look like it was worn quite some time due to where the wear is. The die cracks were what led me to believe it's genuine, I've seen them on other coins at higher grades. I'm debating on whether or not to get the hole filled, right now just enjoying it as is..
