nice pre-civil war branch mint gold ya got there! even with the gouges on the cheek.
it looks like they are "all?" rpd AND rpm ! - i don't know if there is just one set of dies known but can't be many if there are.
i certainly didn't disagree with mark's assertion on this one, not that the pictures helped matters, at all. with that weakness on the obv (the rev weakness doesn't bother me for authentication), that coin would spook me if i found it in the wild. only after studying images, most likely on my iphone 6s, the little color on the rev and the gouge of the eagles' right wing tip into the dentil would have sealed the deal to buy the coin if not overpriced. i think the strength of the rpd/rpm would also give one confidence, in-hand. from those pics though, shoo wee. a tough call unless from a reliable source.
