<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1119499, member: 15199&quot;]It would most likely be returned as damaged, but wouldn&#039;t say about the &quot;ONE&quot; as the rim damage would be sufficient to reject. Many coins like this were engraving practice pieces. Whether to fool people or not probably couldn&#039;t be determined. If you were good enough with a graver to remove the ONE without leaving any visible marks, it would be indicative of skill. A good lens should give an idea if metal was moved. It would be unlikely IMO, that the die could have filled so nicely with grease to leave a smooth, complete removal of the &quot;ONE&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
