<p>[QUOTE="AmishJedi, post: 5462618, member: 114568"]OMG...let's make a list of things wrong with not only this thread, but particularly your (and your loyal devotees) arguments:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) The OP only listed ONE picture of said coin - not even a full obverse/reverse picture, but one, grainy, zoomed image of the date.</p><p>2) Have you (or anyone) examined this coin in person? Didn't think so. And before you respond like a child with "Mr. Weinberg didn't examine the coin either!!!" - stop embarrassing yourself and trying to equate your limited knowledge with his.</p><p>3) Is this image even real - or altered via Photoshop? You don't know. Do you? Nor do I.</p><p>4) You are suggesting (or rather daring) someone to try and recreate 61+ years of handling, coin counter, vending machine, pocket change type of wear, erosion, and abuse in one sitting - therefore, if someone cannot recreate said PMD coin, that their argument is invalid. You can't accurately repeat 6 decades of wear & tear in 1 day - not possible.</p><p>5) Copper is easily manipulated - that date could've been damaged in 1965 and then had 50+ years of handling in order to polish it smooth/flat. If this was an MS65 coin, I might actually tend to be in your corner on this one.</p><p>6) You can't find an exact picture of said PMD, so therefore it couldn't possibly exist? 588 million of these were minted - you would think that if this was a true Mint Error, someone else (other than the OP) would've noticed it. It is kind of a striking PMD, especially since collectors are already scouring these for large vs. small dates. Unless, it is truly a "one-of-a-kind" mint error. Nope.</p><p>7) I have news for you - NOBODY knows for sure (w/100% certainty) what happened to this coin over the past 60+ years. Nobody. Not even Mr. Weinberg - but Mr. Weinberg is 100% certain it didn't happen at the Mint, and I tend to believe him as an error coin and numismatic expert.</p><p>8) Really interested in this coin?</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000">I edited the wager out as the forum does not wish to be an unintentional "midman".
