<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 598158, member: 66&quot;]That should have been an interesting coin considering the 46-D was a Roosevelt.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Finer and finer pumice stone tools, a buffing of the worked on area, and then a retoning of the entire coin.&nbsp; If you are good you can not only remove the part of the 4, but you can also move the &quot;1&quot; over to the left to even up the spacing between the digits.&nbsp; Bill Zach, who engraves Hobo nickels, did that once to show what could be done.&nbsp; He altered the 4 adjusted the resultant &quot;1&quot; and moved it over.&nbsp; He also removed the initials on the shoulder.&nbsp; The only easy way to quickly identify it was the fact that it had the wrong style mintmark.&nbsp; He did engrave copy on the rev so it couldn&#039;t be used for fraudulent purposes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
