Have you weighed it? The reason that I ask...is that the edge of that coin still looks mighty "squared" to have worn to Fine details. Having said that....I see die cracks, and those aren't usually faked. I'll see if I can attribute it.

Are those stars touching each other on the obverse?

Overton 106 has a die crack that runs through the date, the stars on the left and Liberty...much like your coin, so I think it's genuine. The wear pattern is not unlike some of the others I looked at. The rims are quite strong for the amount of wear on the devices....was my first thought, however.

It looks like O-105 to me and I would grade it at F-15, nice coin.

The points of the stars nearly touch on O-105, so I stand corrected. Looks to be a very late die state.

F-15
I take it that is not a scratch on the obverse.
Can someone tell me what that is at 12:00 on the obverse?

That actually looks to me like a drop of solder. I can't see that coin in a PCGS slab with a numeric grade. If it came from a PCGS slab, I could only envision it as being labeled "genuine". It's still a nice coin, so don't get me wrong...I'm not beating the OP up over it. I'd buy it at the right price too. I love draped bust material.

There is a Cud at 12:00 and 7:00. I saw the coin weeks ago when it was in the PCGS slab.

Not the kind of Cud you usually see. I've certainly not seen everything though. Did you remove it to put it in a type set, or did the seller remove it? I would have left it in the slab I think. In fact, now that my bust half is to be entombed in plastic, I've decided to seek another for the 7070.
