realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 04/22/2024 8:17 pm Interesting piece. Color me skeptical? Uncatalogued... super deep/full counterstamp (though no obvious modern concoction evidence on the other side)... I understand due to cultural hegemony, site looting, export restrictions, etc. concerns why they would be vague on the provenance, but I hope the serious involved bidders got more to go on than "recently discovered in a lot of silver coins of a similar age"!

Dearborn Moderator United States 95931 Posts	Posted 04/23/2024 12:50 pm I'm seeing a large tear/notch on the reverse side (lion side at K-4) But only a small one on the obverse (still at k-4) Is this coin a medal or coin turn coin? I'm thinking that the orientation or rotation from one side to the other was random... Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

RogerD Valued Member Canada 491 Posts	Posted 04/23/2024 9:05 pm The description of the coin mentions they did a test cut and snick on the edge of the coin. Might be what you are referencing Dearborn? Edited by RogerD 04/23/2024 9:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jgenn Pillar of the Community United States 1156 Posts	Posted 04/24/2024 03:07 am The coin was hand struck in 1609, a time when the alignment of obverse/reverse design was not routinely performed with any accuracy. Even with the introduction of milled coinage and screw presses, the alignment could vary as each die wore out and was replaced. Precise and consistent alignment would not appear until hubbed dies and steam powered presses were introduced in the very late 18th century Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 04/27/2024 10:55 pm Interesting coin. New types and/or new varieties are turning up all the time. I don't know much about counterstamped types, so I don;t know what gets done to validate them, but I expect CNG has plenty of experience doing so. On the other hand, even the big auction houses (including CNG) occasionally get fooled on coins from places that are not in their wheelhouse. But I assume they would stand behind their products.
