I think the OP coin looks good too with no obvious porosity. The die combination is illustrated in Borden & Brown's article in the 1983 BNJ, p.128 -  23-O2, R2. The left hand flaw on the illustrated example is earlier, showing as 2 discrete lumps. There are 6 examples referenced in the article (3 in private hands) which formed part of the study, but it is very unlikely this list is exhaustive. Somewhere, someone has the original.

I would suspect this is one of the large number of copies which surfaced soon after the turn of the millennium. If a copy, the weight and thickness will be the key. It is likely there is a join line from the two halves as made, but this might have been filed off.

According to the seller this is ex-Spinks. I've asked for a weight. Fingers crossed...

Weight 2.8 grams and listing now taken down - honest seller !
