    Perhaps it is the shape of the numerals in the date.

    Yes, and the rims look strange too, as well as the color - the portrait looks spot on though, as does the reverse, but the ribbon looks like it didn't 'transfer' well.

    Also uneven denticles, some of the letters are very poorly executed, the wreath looks a bit mushy, hair not quite right,...

    The date placement looks off... in a real 1852, the 85 nearly touch the lower braid... at least on the Coinfacts page.

    It’s obviously a new Newcomb number, recently discovered. :s

    Perhaps it is the shape of the numerals in the date.

    and like we've discussed before, this obv/rev die combo was probably used with several other dates. imo, i think this because the date style/surfaces don't match the rest of the coin indicating punching of the date at a separate time than the rest of the coin.

    have a good weekend!

    That one woulda gotten me if I'd had a beer or two (I don't drink).

    At least until I saw the date numerals.

    For me, fonts and numerals are almost always the first pickup points that trigger the red flags.
