While this is pretty bold, and wouldn't fool most collectors, I can see how a new person, looking for a deal, would be sold this as the real deal!

(the tail of the 9 was removed.) The 0 is quite abit smaller, that it should be, and you can also see tool marks on it in that area. Someone took a knife or something and put a big X on the coin as well Speedy __________________ Coin collecting is the only hobby in the world that you can spend all the money in the world and still have some left over WINS - ANA - CONECA -   02-17-2009, 09:58 AM   #4 (permalink) RCBruce Nickel Nerd     Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Baton Rouge La.
