<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 887981, member: 24754&quot;]Not necessarily, I have access to a machine shop here in the department at my school that has all of this equipment. Even if it were a lot of cost and trouble, a person would be creating something that could sell for many thousands of dollars which would make it worthwhile. At least there are people out there that would be willing to do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I read most of it. The coin was considered legitimate because it appeared to have come from a US mint and did not appear to be an altered coin. They were looking for manipulation of the date, seams where 2 coins had been spliced together, etc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But the coin did not have to be altered to have been a forgery. If a person creates a coin using the same methods that the mint uses and using the same metal composition that the mint uses, then the coin will be exactly identical to one that would have came from the mint.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not necessarily arguing that this coin is a fake (Although I tend to think that it is). All I&#039;m asking is, how hard could it be to make a coin? Considering the amount of money that particular coins can sell for, I do not think that it would be all that hard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
