    Again I emphasize the overall depth and clarity of the mini moon. And the apparent doubling in D.O.L.L.A.R. As well as the clarity and cross hatched pattern of the olive branch in the Eagle’s clutches.

    Here is a gold plated Ike next to the copper colored one for reference... as you can see the plated coin loses essential detail.

    look at the depth of strike, and shaving evidence on Eisenhower’s jaw. The eyeball is deeply struck, with a tiny centered dot for a pupil.

    The large size of the stars on the reverse suggests an early die state before excessive planing.

    Die polishing lines, strong copper core and yellow color👋. The highest relief mini moon with texturing. Device doubling and burring plane lines throughout. The coin is not plated and the graduation in color from light blue pastel purple, daybreak red, and gold do not suggest artificial toning. If you look at the top of the mini moon you can see it is raised up off of the coin about a mm.

    I am questioning it’s authenticity based on the angle of the arm of the warrior center, and the crushed A last serif right.

    Like the description says. However I noticed a die crack through the leave bunches at left obverse center.

    Just check Michael’s ip snailtrail. Between heaven and earth, nothing is hiding. Seek. Not hide.

    Look at the left lower portion of the column of the H, it looks like it was carved into a 3 sided pillar

    There appears to be filigree inside the lettering

    It also looks like there are two initials inside the star but I can’t make them out

    I may be wrong but is that the Petrov sky mint Mark?

    Look closely at the denomination.

    Thanks brother. I appreciate your honesty.

    I hate to sound petty but does it represent rarity or commonality?

    Working die? “A” mint Mark in center to left of eagle. And some type of spelled lettering name as well. No rim stippling either.
