No need to keep arguing. You won. You coin will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams. Enjoy your retirement.
No, some guy did not make a fake cent. Your coin is not fake. Do you have a vise? Put two coins in the vise and press them tightly together. See what happens.
You do realize that 1988 wasn't that long ago... really! It's not like the dinosaurs were still roaming and people then, just as now, often would become bored and stick "pennies" into things.. sticking them into vices, smacking with hammers, melting on the stove, etc, etc. Now the thing is that even if not caused by boredom, genuine errors did exist before 88, so why is it so hard to believe that this was intentionally done? I mean, pulling a fast one isn't a recent invention, so unfortunately you need a better argument.
