1859-O
Counterfeit 101
Obverse 1: Crude and Silly Obverse, Shattered Die
Reverse A: Crude Die
Obverse 1 Reverse A
Comments: White metal, great obverse die cracks. Crude but neat workmanship. Note the open buds on the reverse. Also notice that the O mint mark is connected to the wreath. Possibly the maker thought it was part of the design on the coin he attempted to copy.
Plate Coin: B. Greer Collection, VF Grade Estimate
