For one thing, we are looking at pictures of coins here - not coins in hand. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was the author of the comments in the other thread quoted by Speedy. And the description I listed is well known method for faking an error coin. That does not mean it is the ONLY way such an error can be produced. Yes - they can also be produced by the mint during the striking process. And I&#039;m quite sure there are other ways the same effect can be achieved. </p><p><br /></p><p>Member mikediamond is a well known and respected researcher in the error field. It is his opinion that coins like these are the result of dies being partially filled with grease or other viscuous fluid. Since he knows a great deal more about error coins than I do - he&#039;s probably correct. </p><p><br /></p><p>But without examining the coin in person - there is no way to tell for certain. Until that is accomplished by a knowledgeable person - all any of us can offer is opinions. And there is no way to say one is right and the other is wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
