<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DCG, post: 4789465, member: 114352&quot;]Now that I have a new &quot;toy&quot; I&#039;ve been able to get some good close up shots of this penny. This penny has been in this 2x2 since the early 60&#039;s at the latest when my dad was in high school. An earlier post I made which included this among many other coins suggested that this was just damage. Now that I&#039;m able to get real close ups, I&#039;m curious what everyone thinks. Is this likely to be a legitimate mint error or done in an effort to &quot;fake&quot; a mint error? I have a hard time thinking that someone would go to the effort of faking an error on a coin that was relatively young in the 60&#039;s, but hey, who knows. It does have a $10 price written on the back of the 2x2, so maybe that was enough money then to make the effort worth it? Either way, I don&#039;t get the &quot;double rim&quot; designation. If anything it seems like a missing rim or flattened rim... </p><p><br /></p><p>If this is a fake job, I&#039;m curious how this may have been done since it seems pretty clean.
