<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 362961, member: 66"]I'm going to weigh in here and say it is real. One thing that convinces me is something some of you hv tried to use against it, the fact that it is well struck. The dies were set for striking coppernickel, copper is a softer material and will fill the die better. (plus the obverse is mostly head. The material filled the void in the die rather than causing the cent planchet to expand.) But more telling, if you were to take a nickel and cut it down to match the weight, how do you get the well struck nickel down to the thickness of a cent without grinding down those well struck features?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
