coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 05/19/2011 6:51 pm Looks obvious to me: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...140549617793 Messaged seller, he responded that it was just a strong strike. I don't agree; the shields never look like that as far as I know, and the letters look too 'bold' in the shield. I've seen some re-engraved coins and those markers immediately threw up a red flag. He looks like a good seller, but the coin just looks wrong to me. I'm looking at coins on heritage now, and the coins there still look a bit different (even the really strong strike ones). Maybe I'm missing something, but what are your thoughts? Edited by coinguybrian 05/19/2011 6:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 05/20/2011 12:15 am these differences may be related to die varieties: obverse, word "liberty" on shield should be vertical, the shield looks tipped over some, the face looks strange, the lower part of ground is wider than ones I have seen, were there stars in 1837? reverse, the lettering looks small Edited by Fuzzy317 05/20/2011 12:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

But... all of the details seem very flattened with extremely defined lines around them... = wear + retooling. That eye looks hilarious too. Report this Post to the Staff
