[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 4956905, member: 84179"]It’s a fake and the “doubling” in E PLURIBUS UNUM is the giveaway. 1) Look at the spread on EPU. That is significantly more than on the 1955, 1969-S, or 1916 nickel, and look at the attention those coins get due to the amount of doubling. 2) If it was struck by the US mint on a steel planchet, it would have to have been struck with a working die and there would be other examples known on copper planchets. Yet there are no listings for any DDR like this on [URL='http://www.varityvista.com/']www.varityvista.com[/URL] or [URL='http://www.doubleddie.com/']www.doubleddie.com[/URL] 3) The EPU has a huge spread, but surprisingly, you don’t see doubling elsewhere. How could doubling like this occur when the working hub is pressing the working die. Answer = It Can’t So in order for this this coin to be authentic, you would have to have beaten lottery type odds not only once for the off metal planchet, but twice, by finding what would be one of the most significant doubled dies made at the mint. Really High odds x Really high odds = Survivability rate of a snowball in hell It’s well known that the Chinese have been making coins like this for some time. Just check Alibaba.com. That’s what you have.[/QUOTE]
