The D/S is a counterfeit, BTW, Les, despite its having been certified
as genuine.
What did you think about the 1785 date. From the close up, it looks
as though the "85" were later punched into the die, over another
date. The seller says that the coin is struck and not cast and no
engraving,..........what do you think????? It is interesting!

Inconclusive, but I will be checking it against the known varieties
before it closes. At least two new varieties have been discovered
since Newman's '88 article, both in England. Actually I think Anton's
example was brought over from England before Newman's article was
published.
