I will show you response to Bill. In some ways you are right Mario -
for these unseen or rarely seen M.80's its really the authentication
of one person or one person and a respected auction house.
I remember the first time I got into contemporary counterfeits I
accidentally picked up a GEORGE II regal and showed to E.S. - My
comment was nice grade/nice Ctf. find...E.C. indicated yes but to
bad its a reagl viewing the coin three feet away without touching
it. Three years ago a new C4 person found a contemporary and said
not to me but to the person he was discussing the coin to "I wonder
if its struck or cast." I have 20/15 vision Mario and I indicated
much to his surprise or dismay? from six feet away ..."its a
cast...I can tell all the way from here!"
An educated eye goes a long way ...more later...back to work
Mario...I know this is weak ...Bill may respond ...he has little
patience now a days ....due to his ailments.

unique Maris 85-nn from Ray. After a few weeks, he had sent me a
copy of the picture of this mysterious coin that currently resides
in Bill Antons collection. According to Bill Anton, this coin
is "new" to the New Jersery census,..........and who else, but Bill
authenticated this specific coin? The answer, I believe that it was
Bill himself,........self appointed authenticator. Lets take a
close look at these 3 Maris numbers and what can we say about each
one of them.
> 1.) Maris 81-ll,......2 known to this date! The appearence of the
horse is a dead give away to the amateurish design that incorporates
this obverse, the plow, can be characterise with near percission
that is this was made from a casted mould, then the minter could
have impressed the plow with a "wishbone" from a chicken breast,
further, the denticles on the reverse are slanted, their points do
not point deirectly in to the design like all others,..a common
occurence of either a forger or perhaps a die cutter without a
steady hand.
> 2.)Maris 84-kk,......2 known to this date! first, the obverse
denticles are spaced further apart then anyother Maris number. The
horse looks very good and its ears are somewhat "concial" in shape,
well so is obverse 36,..but the jaw is puffy and rounded with the
nose protruding out,....looks like a "gun",..........but the plow,
well, a chicken wishbone gives off a much more realistic
impression,.....so saying this, this obverse die really was the work
of true inexperience. the reverse is very mysterious and that
the "R" in PLURIBUS is retrograded, thus meanning, backwards. No
another aspect under enlagement of the reverse clearly shows the the
retrograded "R" was probably an "I" punched into a very soft die,
ie: brass, copper or playdough,......then scribed, pay close
attention to the loop of the "R" and the stance,.extremely thin
unlike the backbone of that letter, thus compared to the series, a
inconsistant design as well.
> 3.) Antons unique Maris 85-nn: ......1 known to this date. This
coin if you enlarge the photograph of it, then carefully examine it,
you will definitly find the strongest of comparison to the camelhead
Maris 57-n variety. This Maris variety is considered a contemporay
counterfeit and has been accepted, I will not argue that point,
but, I feel that there were 2 types of planchets that they struck
this coin with,.first a rolled copper strip then cut into
planchets,......secondly, casted planchets,...weight variations are
the most widest of all in this series,.........however, a
contemporay counterfeit that it is. Now the unique Maris 85-nn is
nothing more than a graphical recut and damaged die. This type of
die can be made easily with a casted mould of this obverse and
reverse, simply impress a 57-nn into a jewelers mould, then cut and
recut the design until desired satisfaction,.........voi-la,......a
85-nn,...............Logically, there would be no way in hell, that
the 57-n and the 85-nn were made at the same mint at the same
time,.........also, the reverse"nn" would never logically be paired
with a 57,.......even by a countefeiters standard, a dead give away
and could never have been passed as a new variety
legitimately,..............
> So, can one determine that the Maris 81-ll and the Maris 84-kk
were produced during the rightful period when this series was being
struck? The answer, unlikely,........the facts,.........BOTH SHOW
UNDERTYPES THAT ARE CLEAR AND DISTINCTED a perfect factor of a
forgerer to use a planchet of the proper time period so that it
would pass only the specific gravity test,...........so could these
two Maris coins be classified in the 1850 to 1890 era? Possibly,
this accounts for the extremely poor and crude designs and how about
Bill's Maris 85-nn in the same 1850 to 1890 era? No
way,.....why?,........because not even your most knowledegable New
Jersey specialist in the 19th century could ever rationalize it's
existance,............the similarities are so so close that it would
have been impossible to produce two coins , each varying in opposite
direction of each other but yet, extremely close with diagnostics to
confirm these similarities,.............Mr. Bill,............I think
somehow that your expertising skills have slipped
somewhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
