<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1295378, member: 29239&quot;]What you are trying to say here makes no sense at all. everything you mention here the coin in question has it all. first off if you will take time to look at the photos in post #1 you can see that the coin is more oval shaped than round and shows plenty of hammer marks and pits. If you want to do this without the hammer marks or pits put your coin in between two smooth pieces of metal. you are welcome to believe what you want to about this coin. if you are planning on buying and collecting error coins I suggest you first learn how the minting process works so you can easy tell the damaged coins from a real error coin. There are millions of man made altered coins out there that are so weird it would be impossible for them to be made by the coin dies at the mints and some of them are really confusing. </p><p><br /></p><p>the altered coins that appears to be struck by the coin die numerous times with perfect looking raised up extra letters and designs still confuses me because I can not tell for sure how these are being altered . I&#039;m thinking fake dies are used but how can the ones doing this keep from damaging the original mint design or the other side of the coin when applying the other designs right beside of the original strike design ? These used to be on Ebay about every day but Ebay has been cracking down on the sellers of them. These were selling for huge prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
