[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3256653, member: 99642"]In the second set of pix. In the second pic, the 3 looks altered, as if it were an 8 that had been cut and ground off and then the remaining bottom of the loop expanded to get to where the bottom of a 3 normally is. There are plenty of tools available to do that with and plenty of incentive to do it and plenty of unsuspecting, and easily fooled people, who, through their willingness to unknowingly buy such altered coins, help keep such shenanigans alive and well. That's my Lincoln cent's worth.[/QUOTE]
