<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 25353810, member: 43872"]Is it possible the counterfeiter didn't make a working die but added a 2 to the date of a genuine 1941? There is a little distortion on the reverse, roughly where the date is on the other side. Added features are certainly not without precedent. If so, technically it would not be a counterfeit but an altered date. I'm not expert enough to tell if the remainder of the coin has any signs of being counterfeit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
