<p>[QUOTE="miedbe7, post: 1618598, member: 33919"]I thought I read somewhere recently that the $2 coin was the most difficult to duplicate well because it was bimetallic. Basically, the only cheap way to do it involved a temporary painting of one of the sections to make it appear bimetallic, when in fact it was unimetallic. Needless to say the paint would rub off. I'll look for a link but I can't start to think where I would've read that unless it was here on CT. That being said, I would guess it's real.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
