[QUOTE="Jack D. Young, post: 7395514, member: 93371"]In my previous post about the 1872-S slabbed half dollars I asked the same question... The answer developed through participation by other Members here but I felt some of the participants new to the deceptive struck counterfeits were frustrated in how long the story took to developed so I will pose the same question here but include my answers in the OP! So, that being said, here are various "certified" examples of the same "variety"... [ATTACH=full]1286723[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1286724[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1286725[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1286726[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1286727[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1286728[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1286729[/ATTACH] The 1st example caused a stir in the EAC community! Possibly a new undiscovered variety, the obverse had a longer "Y" in LIBERTY than any known variety of 1798 (although most of the obverse matched S-158 & S-159), and the reverse matched S-158 EXCEPT the die state was unknown! S-158 is known with a perfect (uncracked) reverse, but when the crack at the "T" of UNITED is present it runs through the wreath through "T" of STATES to the rim. So this was possibly a [B]unique non-collectible variety[/B]... [ATTACH=full]1286730[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1286731[/ATTACH] So, the answer to the question posed is all [B][I]are struck fakes[/I][/B], including the "VARIETYPLUS" example. [ATTACH=full]1286732[/ATTACH] I have reached my limit of 10 images and will continue in the 2nd post below![/QUOTE]
