<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3295095, member: 84179&quot;]Time for a quick analogy.&nbsp; Your claim is equivalent to going to a car show with a Corvette engine in your Mustang and telling the judges that it&#039;s very rare because it came from the Ford factory with the Chevy Engine.&nbsp; Then you insist they must prove to you that Ford didn&#039;t put a Corvette Engine in new mustangs and tell them they need to keep an open mind.&nbsp; Yes, here are cars with engine swaps, but they didn&#039;t roll off the assembly line with them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is some excellent information on how dies and coins are made.&nbsp; Please read these and then let us know how your coin could be made by the mint.&nbsp; Hopefully this will help, because it&#039;s my last response to your nonsense, but maybe other new collectors with open minds can learn something from it.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinnews.net/2013/04/09/u-s-mint-at-san-francisco-preparing-coin-dies/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinnews.net/2013/04/09/u-s-mint-at-san-francisco-preparing-coin-dies/" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #0066cc">http://www.coinnews.net/2013/04/09/u-s-mint-at-san-francisco-preparing-coin-dies/</span></a></p><p><a href="http://www.coinnews.net/2013/04/17/u-s-mint-at-san-francisco-coining-press-room/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinnews.net/2013/04/17/u-s-mint-at-san-francisco-coining-press-room/" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #0066cc">http://www.coinnews.net/2013/04/17/u-s-mint-at-san-francisco-coining-press-room/</span></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Dies</p><p>[ATTACH=full]872018[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Die Hardware (So how does a bigger Cent Die fit into these?)</p><p><a href="http://www.coinnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/040-Die-Tooling-Kit-Used-at-SF-Mint.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/040-Die-Tooling-Kit-Used-at-SF-Mint.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.coinnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/040-Die-Tooling-Kit-Used-at-SF-Mint-300x225.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
