Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2676242, member: 112"]It really doesn't, and hasn't had anything to do with when the coins are produced Mike. The Martha Washington coins and the Sacky mules are prime examples of that, both produced in '99 and 2000 respectively. In fact with the Sacky mules the point hinged on determining how the coins were released, and or found as the case may be. A mint employee was caught trying to carry one out, he was prosecuted. Others were found in the wild - no problem. But nobody knows for certain how they got out either. And the mules, and not just the Sackys but the others as well, also present the issue of how did they come to be to begin with ? Similarly to this double headed nickel, their very existence shouldn't have been possible in most people's eyes - but yet they exist. And isn't that the thing ? You see, it's not just in the US that this phenomena exist, it's world wide. Many, many, examples of doubled headed and double tailed coins, and mules, that have been certified and documented as genuine exist, made in various countries from all over the world. So it quickly becomes evident that not only is it possible, it happens far more often than most realize. And when you have that many the question then arises that maybe, just maybe, they can be legitimate errors. And it is then that we must realize that what we choose to believe, just might not be true after all.[/QUOTE]
