<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jack D. Young, post: 3018630, member: 93371&quot;]This &quot;variety&quot; was included in my previous article on damaged and repaired source coins and the counterfeits struck from the resulting dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>The significance of the date and the higher grade details caused quite a stir when it was &quot;discovered&quot; among experts- both collectors, dealers and TPG&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>After posting results on our FB page &quot;Dark Side&quot; and the discussions that ensued I found myself the bearer of bad news to a fellow EAC member and friend that the example he had recently purchased for over $14K (in a TPG slab) was one of the fakes as well. The silver lining for him was the TPG&#039;s guarantee of authenticity, and the &quot;coin&quot; was bought back- I then had the opportunity to review it at the next EAC Convention and it became more apparent &quot;in-hand&quot; what it actually is...</p><p><br /></p><p>My research article documenting this one for those interested can be found at Coin Week: <a href="https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/counterfeit-coin-week-1793-s-5-wreath-cent-1-page-attribution-guide/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/counterfeit-coin-week-1793-s-5-wreath-cent-1-page-attribution-guide/" rel="nofollow">https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/counterfeit-coin-week-1793-s-5-wreath-cent-1-page-attribution-guide/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]750011[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]750012[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
