If it were machined, you'd think the zinc core would show. I doubt I'll bid on it however.   01-16-2009, 04:52 PM   #3 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 17,759 Quote: Originally Posted by quartertapper Could be legit.

I have just taken a better look at the pictures and see some very strange stuff on the coin's reverse. What's up with all the bumps on the Memorial and in the field below? Those are usually markers for cast counterfeits; at least there's no other explanation I can think of for them being there. __________________ Quote: Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

Maybe next time.   01-17-2009, 03:14 PM   #11 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 24,646 Quote: Originally Posted by davidh When I posted this I hadn't gone any further that the top of the listing page where the price is.

Quite common. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   01-17-2009, 03:44 PM   #12 (permalink) desertgem Senior Errer Collecktor     Join Date: Jul 2008 Posts: 2,985 My Mood: Did you notice that he as over $40 million of "buy it now"s listed on one page.

I'd bet you can go through your change and find an example or two. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
