I am thinking O-131, but that is subject to change with more study.

Edit: I have decided to stick with that answer.

Giovanni Cavino was a medalist and, according to some, a forger, born in Padua, Italy in 1500. More info Here .

And HERE

As far as how to tell the difference, I am not nearly familiar enough with these to know. Maybe Doug or someone else will chime in.

So, is this coin the original, or the Cavino overstrike?

I always wonder,  when I see a trade dollar this worn, if this one made it overseas a time or two.

Great looking coin.

Picked this one up at a local show today, a modest upgrade as this one is graded VF-30, my other is graded F-15.

 

I can't see the die crack in the lower leaves, so I am going with O-101.

And now, for something completely different...

I loved that show!

Great color on that 92-O!

I'm too lazy to re-type the list, so see my sigline.

Add my name to the list of folks who like that Carson City quarter. (thumbs u
