[QUOTE="10rightchoice, post: 1707306, member: 51273"]Notice the rim of this coin at the top on obverse. It indicates double or off center strike if the picture is accurate. Now the 1 is hit with the second strike and clipped at the top. The 9's are doubled and deformed. The 1 I have seen many times in Mint Errors and is Mistaken for a Fake. In all due appearance it is. It is my opinion that fakes are only determined by watching someone mint a coin who doesn't have the authority to do so!!! The 1955 Lincoln Double Die could have gone through the same scrutiny. Likely discovered by a trusted source. The Liberty on this Coin indicates machine Doubling as well. I did not see this coin minted , so I cannot discount what this person is saying about this coin. I hate to see a witch hunt for perfectly good coins begin is all I will finally comment on.[/QUOTE]
