<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1549621, member: 29239&quot;]These altered coins are simple and quick to make and they are horrible on ebay for the beginning collectors that don&#039;t know they are worthless. It is best to learn the minting process about how coins are made then these fakes are easier to spot.If this had been a real mint error the first profile of Washington would have been almost completely wiped out by the second strike and the coin would still be nice and round and not flared out because it has reeded edges which means it was in the retaining colar when struck at the mint.If I had not been 100% sure of what it was then I would have not said anything about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did a coin today to show you good folks what a coin looks like when someone makes a impression of another coin then forces it onto a coin. on this one Lincoln can be seen three times and the letters RTY of liberty shows twice and they are raised and are not backwards. If folks can learn more what to watch for and not buy these altered things that may stop some corrupt sellers from trying to sell them. enjoy the photo and this coin has been destroyed. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]208291.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
