<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 487636, member: 11521&quot;]He was caught when one of his bombs exploded in his hands before he could plant it. It was simple for the detectives to tie him to the other bombs (and the death and injuries they caused) as well as the counterfeit Mormon documents he had been selling for BIG money. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I remember correctly while in prison he made the claim that he made the 1959 Wheat Cent.

The 1959 Wheat Cent is a struck coin - not cast. (A cast coin would not fool any experts.) Apparantly Hofmann has claimed he made the &#039;59 Wheat but that has not been confirmed. (Authorities did not find the dies among Hofmann&#039;s belongings.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hofmann has also claimed that he added mint marks to coins using an ingenious method that I will explain later.
