1902 O VAM 101 - New C4 Micro O Family counterfeit die pair

[DurhamJnKY]

This one pairs the obverse from VAM 63 with the reverse from 1901-O VAM 67.

Picked it up from the bay. The seller's pictures were good enough to see rounded edges so I felt pretty sure it was counterfeit. But the date and mint mark didn't match VAM 92, the only other 02-O C4 privately made, so I wasn't entirely sure. Thankfully, it isn't so worn that I couldn't see the curved lines below the right wing.

Might be the best $31 I ever spent.

Fantastic and showing how a keen eye - with verification - can advance the fun.

Contrats and money well spent.

Awesome pickup!
Did JB or JR attribute as 101?
Look forward to seeing the listing on 1902 o page!
Another cc to add to the radar.
Congrats!!

JB has verified and set up the page. It isn't listed on the counterfeit page yet,

Thanks
