I was facetious, but now I'm vaguely curious if the Mint is actually relying on the possibility that counterfeiters would miss the reed security...
I have a newbie question - for anybody really, not just you Garlicus. It's just that your explanation got me wondering. When is a .999 silver coin...
Obviously no counterfeiters would have seen that missing reed. Gilbert has ruined all of that now.
I'm glad you posted it here @Gilbert. I would have seen this when mine arrived and thought the same thing - I didn't read beyond the fact that...

Uh, what the heck is a 'Brocakge'? Google is clueless (as am I). :confused: edit: oh, hah, typo. Thanks @expat
Hah, holy moly. Now THAT'S a lamination! :wideyed: Thanks, I'll look into an NGC membership. Let me know if they have a reference option and I'll...
Huh, nice! So you submitted some of your lamination errors for TPG slabs, eh? I didn't realize they would be worth doing that... maybe I should...
