This appears very similar to the 10/J (and I actually think it is Rev. J) http://cccbhcc.com/new-discoveries.html#182310j (scroll down to the new 1823 discoveries) but the stars on the obverse don't match the same. What do you all think?
Early American Copper, Bust and Seated.

Love it. Maybe it will be the drunken date.
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
i am amazed there are only 2 known listed. i gotta believe the cccbhcc is fairly up-to-date so if those are the only 2 types known for 1823, yours is new.
i'll dig some more to see if that is in fact the only ones known for the date and if i find anything before anyone else confirms, i'll post it here.
love these antiquated counterfeits although i've read a lot of material on the chaos they've caused just like these days. they just look neat, what can i say.

ok. so i presumed you had only visited that page (new discoveries) but that may not be the case. i haven't checked the many other known ones:
here or here or here (winston's site).
