[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 621599, member: 16994"]Intentional errors are something that all mints must combat.

And from the source of the story I have no doubts that this is a legit piece. I would also suspect that the same person made this piece as well. [IMG]http://i39.tinypic.com/2djv4lu.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
