[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 4204971, member: 92083"]Hellow, fellow coin nerds! My name is Joe Cronin, and I am going to be posting one coin a week every Tuesday for you to figure out if a Mint Errot is either Genuine, Altered or Counterfeit. Please pick one of the following and say why you picked what you did. Answers will be given within 48 hours of my post. Genuine = An error that occurred without assistance at a Mint facility or during the coin metal-making process. Altered = A genuine Mint-issued coin that was modified to mimic a genuine error, or unintentional damage that makes the coin appear as an error. Counterfeit = A coin that was not made at a government Mint facility and created to appear as a genuine error; usually created to scam collectors. Here is the first one. Enjoy! Weight: 3.09 grams [ATTACH=full]1078062[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1078063[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
