I&#039;d like to know. It stands to reason that they could be given some of the questionable things that go on in numismatics and given the quality of the strike and certain quality issues with the devices I pointed out. If the coin I questioned turns out to be fake, then yes I suppose there could be fakes a foot, how many is nearly impossible to say. One is enough though. Commonality of a series doesn&#039;t reduce the chance that a counterfeiter might avoid that coin, instead it might be easier to slip one by or go unnoticed. Perhaps there are scores of them, by volume it wouldn&#039;t require much silver to fake such coins (these are like 0.193 of an oz. of silver) and selling a vast quantity of fakes could be as lucrative as selling a few, well made, high grade key coins. Both instances carry potential risks of being detected as one presents more opportunities for detection and the other fewer coins being more closely scrutinized by more interested and sophisticated collectors.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">All of your coins you have posted, even the well worn and circulated ones, have better denticles around the reverse rim than the one I am questioning in the OP, which continues to make me wonder about the coin I posted being a fake. Yet it could just be die deterioration issues.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
