<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisbauman, post: 293155, member: 9097&quot;]<b>Thanks for the info</b></p><p><br /></p><p>and it would be much easier to counterfiet a 55 double die or a wiscsonsin leaf than to create a double struck.&nbsp;&nbsp; The curvature of the coin along with the pressure needed to stamp the coin along with the precision needed to get the fonts to line up (along with the&nbsp; exact font) would make any counterfiet nearly impossible to produce unless someone had&nbsp; a capital outlay in the millions- so&nbsp; a monkey could do it is correct if that monkey was worth a million dollars.&nbsp;&nbsp; If everyone started worrying about counterfiet coins then the industry would collapse tomorrow, so although this will always be an issue with any type of valuable coin the industry just has to accept it.&nbsp; &nbsp; Like I said before if someone is bold enough to sell a fake smooth edge on ebay there is a good chance that it wiill end up in a grading services hand and once it is measured, weighed, and scrutinized and found to be a fake it is sent back to the submitter and then the fraud process can begin.&nbsp;&nbsp; The original seller of the coin can then wait for the secret service to come knocking on their door.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Thanks for your concern.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
