Do I detect signs of a possible 6 over a higher 6? Or is it just a trick of the enlargement??

Another image of the obverse.

Would someone possibly please identify the imaged coin and possibly give an estimated value. This is not my coin. I am researching for an acquaintance. I do not have the coin in my possession and these are the only images that I have. With no actual knowledge of the coin, I would hypothesize that it might be a Greek Tetradrachm or something in that family. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Remember the PCGS farthing mule debacle from about 15 years ago??! Rather than admit an error, they essentially created a new variety...

That WAS the joke!

A Classic and so true....

DUH!! Of course you are absolutely CORRECT. That will teach me to do reseaech when I am half asleep. I do have it listed properly in my spreadsheet abd hopefully in my album too. At least that relieves me of any hallucinations I was having regarding any similarities between the 2 coins. Anyway, so long as the images are posted already, Iain, have you come across an 1855 closer colon (much as the 1853 Peck-1503) such as this?thus?? Regards and thanks again.

Regardless of any similarity, could you post images of both sides of your coin?

I checked my 1855 plain tridents and there is one coin that might possibly be a match. More than likely it is my imagination running amok. This coin I had identified about 15 years ago or so and placed separately amongst my 1855s inasmuch as the colon is slightly closer than on others. It does have a slightly "fatter" last 5. Richard, maybe you can compare the colon spacing and see if there is a match there. If so, then that might be an identifier if indeed there is something ornate in the breast plate. If it is just a closer colon spacing, then it is merely a die variety. If indeed, in addition to the colon spacing, there is also a more ornate design on the breastplate, then we have identified a new reverse die. Obviously the ideal situation would be to find a high grade example and either confirm or refute this observation. Again, despite the definite difference in the colon spacing we might be in total fantasy land regarding any design on the breastplate.

Damn auto-correct, I wanted to write "UNgraded".

I concur. IMHO the upgraded coin is more desirable.

Magnificent coin....

Double 00 is both sides affected

Probably gets rejected

1956 4 & c obverse

1956 4 & c reverse

I have 2 in my collection and 1 in my spares. Total 3 in my possession right now.

Mislabeled as a High Tide, it is actually a 1897 Dot.
