<p>[QUOTE="USADealer, post: 2783906, member: 88439"]Hi, something is not right about his face. I wouldn't touch the coin. Compare a normal Ike with this "alleged" error and you'll see an alarming difference within the obverse side. As everyone knows, error coins can be easily counterfeited and nobody could ever say they're not errors because nobody can legally say they are or are not errors. It's like the Massachusetts Pine Tree Copper in which the Museum in Massachusetts "thinks" they have the only one. Legally, the Massachusetts Museum has no clue what happened in the 1800's never mind thinking they have the only Pine Tree Copper. We own two Pine Trees and for all legal and argumentative purposes, our Pine Trees are absolutely authentic. We also had our Pine Trees scanned with a Handheld XRF xray device. Our two Pine Trees are possibly worth upwards of $100 Million but we cannot get a grading company to authenticate them because they continue the grading industry corruption by refusing to acknowledge other Pine Trees exist. Search etsy for stamps and you will see, metal stamps can be customized and purchased and then used to alter a coin and make it look like an error. Be careful buying error coins. China continues to counterfeite everything from coins to antiques. We wish you the best in your search for errors. P. S. Ask the eBay seller how the coin was authenticated as a real error. Forget PCGS because PCGS has no clue if the Ike is a real error. So where does that leave everyone? Yes, a good guess is all that is needed but a guess does not make something legal or authentic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
