[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3847144, member: 78298"]Anybody who knows how coins are produced knows it has to be a fake. If a wheat reverse die struck this coin, how many thousands more were struck? And none have surfaced. Even if the mint realized their error and destroyed the coins (and 1 slipped into circulation) there still has to be a paper trail at the mint documenting it, because they are creating and destroying money and it has to be accounted for. And there isn't any information that the mint created this coin by accident and destroyed them. There's no folklore myth about people who worked at the mint at that time about this coin being produced. It just popped up one day, was verified by government agents who were not experts in coins, and it has been stated that the creation process was by spark erosion. Still a super cool story. Always enjoy reading about, Henning nickels, the five 1913 Liberty nickels, 1964-D Peace dollar, 1974 aluminum cent, the guy who counterfeited 1 dollar bills for 30 years, etc.[/QUOTE]
