<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinsandmedals, post: 5223007, member: 107435&quot;]You have missed the point here. [USER=102103]@The Eidolon[/USER] is suggesting that &quot;others&quot; (i.e., not mint officials) may have sourced their copper from the heavier 1797 issues to strike counterfeits. This is plausible given that similar operations were already in full swing throughout England for centuries. There is nothing in their response that implies that any coin struck at the Soho Mint with reduced weight is counterfeit. You have adequately highlighted the ridiculousness of such a claim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
