<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2049205, member: 26302"]I agree with all here. Its possible its just a very miserable strike. They were known to happen with Peace dollars. OTOH, yes whizzers can completely fool people who do not check closely. Many of them are very good at their "craft". I knew a dealer who either was good at it, or knew someone who was good at it, because his table always had some very good "quality" coins that were whizzed. Believable results, not overdone, and not very much metal built up around the devices. I admit I bought a piece or two until I caught on when I was younger.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
