<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 2398233, member: 1859&quot;]It&#039;s certainly true that a perfect alignment can occur, but the chance is 1 in 360.&nbsp; Combine that with the smaller-than-expected expansion, the odd texture on the obverse, and the uneven coverage of that texture, and you compound the number of improbable events/effects.&nbsp; Even if this coin were genuine, its appearance can be produced outside the Mint, and it is therefore, at best, a candidate for the suspense account.&nbsp; You can send it to me for a closer look, if you&#039;d like.&nbsp; Who knows, I may see something under the microscope that would cause me to change my mind.&nbsp; It might also be worth a write-up in Coin World (I sometimes feature fakes and suspected fakes in my Collector&#039;s Clearinghouse column).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
