<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3244344, member: 92083&quot;]I feel this coin was altered. Here are my reasons why.</p><p><br /></p><p>(A) The number &quot;1&quot; in the date on the top appears to be crooked compared the &quot;1&quot; below it. It is &quot;slanted&quot; and not uniform in alignment compared to the other numbers.</p><p>That wouldn&#039;t happen if the hub was doubled nor if it was double struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>(B) The width of the top and bottom of the &quot;1&quot; is significantly wider for the bottom date than the top &quot;1&quot;. To me, it looks like a completely different design.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]850041[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>(C) The level of wear on the front date does not match the level of wear on other surfaces and lettering. The &quot;overstruck&quot; date relief is higher and sharper than other parts of the coin that are terribly worn. For example, look at the sharpness of the raised date compared to the very worn lettering on &quot;AUSTRAILIA&quot;. How is this possible?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]850042[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>In my opinion, this has been altered by adding a second date after it left the Mint. This was possible to do at the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
