Yikes! I could see that one fooling some folks. Appears to have the "correct" 2L reverse, or something close to it.
Here's a genuine obv. to show how the date is supposed to line up.
Thanks for this info. I'm curious, Way up the thread, I read that there were some errors in a chart published in the Gobrecht journal by a guy who works for ICG and is no Trade dollar expert. Looks like the member making that claim was banned years ago. I have a copy of that die chart. Anyone here know what the mistakes were?
I should like to make the corrections.

That's very cool kaz, the new reverse die has incredible feather details.
Very informative, thank you. There are 2 on eBay right now with different dies. Both look okay to me but.
Here we go again...Different obv die (the "1" is wayyyy left), but reverse die has the above mentioned pickups...

Ummm that isn’t a 2L as it is a type 1 rev (with berry) not a bad faked patina though

Duh. didn't even look beyond the tail feathers.
Double duh. I was so focused on the bald spot in the tail feathers I missed the obvious also. Mea culpa...
