1854 With Arrows
Counterfeit 101
Obverse 1: Handcut Die, The Old Man on the Rock
Reverse A: Handcut Die, Huge Letters
Obverse 1 Reverse A
Comments: Weight is 12.2 grams and has a dark silver metal appearance. Specimen exhibits partial edge reeding and normal coin turn die alignment. I've labed this counterfeit variety as the "Old Man on the Rock" due to the bearded appearance of Liberty's head. Note the huge handcut date, stars and letters on reverse.
Plate Coin: B. Greer Collection, G-VG Grade Estimate
