[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 4008555, member: 78298"]It can't be real as there is only one. A reverse wheat die would have produced many thousands of coins, and if it had been discovered and the coins destroyed and 1 slipped through the cracks, there would be a paper trail of the destroyed coins, for mint accounting purposes. The coin was never verified by any coin expert. All of the experts believe it is a fake. Only speculators and the uninformed have given this infamous coin more value than it deserves. Yes it's an interesting story, but there's no question about the coin itself. Not possible. I have the numismatic forgery book. I was underwhelmed.[/QUOTE]
