Was wondering if this would possibly be genuine. The reverse is fairly soft compared to the obverse. Lots of flaws. I don't have my calipers handy but weight is 7.34 grams. I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set \| Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better?

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/15/2024 3:38 pm The die pair is RR-8 and matches all diagnostics as such This pair was originally listed as being R4 but is now more commonly thought to be R3 It looks pretty rough but could be genuine. Much like the other VT copper you posted, it can be difficult to tell counterfeits from actual coins.
