[QUOTE="Fred Weinberg, post: 3271172, member: 86437"]Jaimie, that cent above is not an error, and has had the copper plating removed. And, if I can say, I have to laugh everytime a novice says that a dealer is jealous of their coin, and will say it's fake because they don't have it. That's absolutely ridiculous, and in fact, in 47 years of being a full time numismatist, I've never heard of anyone saying a coin is a damaged/altered coin because they were jealous. Yes, you're not the first one to say it, but it always, always, comes from someone who simply doesn't want to believe what numerous experienced collectors or dealers say about their coin. I know we can be the 'bearer of bad news' to folks, but certainly not for the reason you gave above. I don't know you, so I'm not attacking you personally, just that statement - it's ludicrous.[/QUOTE]
