<p>[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 331764, member: 307"]you know, one of the things I am learning about counterfeit coins is this: Typically there is something wrong about the coin that is obvious so that the counterfeiter is able to tell his/her work at a glance so as not to ever "buy" any of their counterfeits back. This coin has a wrong date and mintmark combination. I have a really nice 1838 lettered edge bust half. problem is... they stopped lettering the edge in 1836</p><p><br /></p><p>This is not a hard and fast rule, but it is true of many counterfeits made in the late 19th century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
