<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 1636092, member: 4626"]Well OK, but the question still remains, why go through all the effort to make a fake of a coin that would only be worth about $30 if it's real (my source for the $30 value is the 2013 Red Book, and guessing it looks about EF or so)? I just can't wrap my head around the fact that if someone's going to put the effort into faking a coin, why not fake a coin that you could pass off as being valuable enough to make it worth your time and money to fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Am I just missing something here? I'm guessing why such an obvious fake got missed precisely because nobody thought it was a coin worth faking, but that still calls into question why the counterfeiter thought it was. I just have a hard time seeing how faking something like this would be worth the time, money and effort it would take to make a halfway passable fake of a not particularly valuable coin. Seems you could make more money putting those same skills to legitimate purposes. I just don't get it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
