I wouldn&#039;t count on that though... I&#039;ve been a CT member for less than a year, and have seen countless threads where OP owns a possible 44 steelie in my short time here. None of those coins ended up being legit, or at least weren&#039;t reported to be by the OP.</p><p>Virtually all of them have either odd enviro damage or are attempted counterfeits by unscrupulous individuals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
