<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 24577662, member: 21705&quot;]It&#039;s not a fake because it doesn&#039;t match a die known to the observer. There may be other known dies or even an unknown die. You can only exclude those dies you can show do not match. The assumption that you know all dies has proven to be a fallacy, even coins of 200 years of age.</p><p><br /></p><p>Specifically I&#039;m thinking of the obverse (15) of the 1793 Liberty Cap (NC-6) which was not discovered until 1985. I discovered the third example 4 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Patterns are even harder to exclude since they are often struck on differing materials than the standard planchet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
