<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdcda, post: 52408, member: 941&quot;]In my opinion, the coin is a genuine 1891-O with some type of accidental or intentional damage that has occurred at some point during its long life. I would find it difficult to believe that a counterfeiter that was capable of producing that level of quality on the mint mark would leave obvious evidence of his/her embossing on the rim. I would chalk it up to environmental or intentional damage to the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>One possible explanation for the damage may be an attempt at embossing - an individual learning how to drill the edge of a coin on a less valuable piece than was intended for counterfeiting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
