<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 883831, member: 66"]Since Mad Outcast has seen it in hand and says the webbing is too thin I believe that it is faked, but such a thing as what is presented in the auction IS possible. The mint does run rejected coins trough the waffling machinery, and they do chop up the webbing that remains from the strip after it is blanked. As to how they get out of the Mint, the waffled coins and the webbing scrap is sold. Usually it is purchased back by the suppliers of the strip coils to the Mint but it is possible for others to buy it as well. Once the coins are waffled they are no longer considered coins and so it is all just so much scrap metal. Once the new owner takes possession of the scrap they can do whatever they want to with it. The real waffled coins and webbing scrap probably come from an employee at one of the suppliers or a scrap metal dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
