<p>[QUOTE="bdunnse, post: 2155566, member: 57317"]Hobo nickels, cleaned coins, acid-restored (a subset of cleaned?), re-struck, altered mint marks, counter-stamped. All the same in my mind - they are all still legal tender at face value (IMHO), but are all subject to being misrepresented by unscrupulous people trying to make a buck selling a, say, possible rarity. I think they are all commonly yet incorrectly lumped into the "counterfeit" category, which is too broad of a category to accurately define what the actual coin is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
