After reading tropicalbats post several weeks back on this variety I spotted a potential match on ebay. I made the purchase and received it in the mail today... it looks like a match.

When taking and posting pics they need to be the exact same way they are on the reference sites.IMHO.

Isn't the B of VDB supposed to have a downward slant in the middle?

MISTER T it is right. The B it is not genuine and the V angle do not fit the original. Also the I in AMERICA it is out of the aligment. This was granted to be the second generation of the Serbin contrafeits
Here the OP coin and then the original design. Also the rim it is out of the normal strike.

OP image:

Original Design:

I may be wrong about the style of B on all coins since several different dies were used but I only mention it because of the 5 examples in my collection, all of them have the slanted center of the B.

My original photos were a little blurry, here are some close-ups of VDB and the "I" in AMERICA. Devices look normal in the new (in focus) photos... I think.
