<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Twinturbo, post: 1535437, member: 33002&quot;]Very much possible they used the fine needle trick.</p><p>Bore a small hole in the edge and then using other equipment they can manipulate the surface of the coin, and create figures, MMs or alter them. Common on non-reeded edge coins Highly deceptive, since these are typically done by the best of counterfeiters, they can leave practically no marks or indication on the edge after their repair work. the coin is then usually &quot;circulated&quot; only issue is that many times, since the damage is irreversible, if they mess up they can not undo what they&#039;ve done, case in point the example matt has posted, has that look, wrong shape of mm notice the two different styles and they tried to correct it but were unable to do so.</p><p>Regardless Matt I would keep this, chalk it up as a lesson and to educate others, few counterfeiters stay in business for long, and this guy was an exception IMO, those that do, usually leave the scene years before their forgeries are discovered...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
