Question
I observed a question and answer from yourself about said coin - you sent the questioner three links and asked if his coin looked like the pictures --mine looks like it but lettering aligned differently and missing middle stalks from corn or wheat stalk - the A is straight above the bee hive for example
Hello Rodney,
)
I am not sure of your question or the answer you are refering to.
The coin image I have attached here is not the actual coin but a reproduction.
The real coin looks similar to this but with some difference in the details especially around the bow on the reverse. The slave cap on the pole points to the left of the A in STATES on the coin.
Your item would have to be seen to be more accurately evaluated.
Pictures can be deceiving and I am happy to help you have a professional look at your piece.
If you write back with the general location (nearest large cities) and telephone area code or codes and some zip codes in your area, I can direct you to an AMERICAN NUMISMATIC ASSOCIATION MEMBER/DEALER near there. They are ethical and trustworthy.
Or as you said there is help with this at most coin shows.
Thank You and Good Luck
PapaJack
