unreal had to stop and come home to clean and try to identify ! took me about 2 Hrs of under the Microscope but finally figured it out ,and I don't know the date it is 18?? may be 73 so hard to see the front details but by counting the stars and aligning it with a real one on line it matches , the eagle and shield on the back match to, its a first!

Nice find but i believe you re wrong about it being seated. I think its capped! If you look at the motto its more of a bow liked capped bust whereas the seated is more wavy.

I'd think that's a rare find. Counterfeit coins are fewer in number than real ones by a long ways. Gary
