<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 7818887, member: 66&quot;]It isn&#039;t possible to have the mintmark ON the rim.&nbsp; The portion that forms the top surface of the rim is lower than the field of the coin and in theory slightly lower than the deepest parts of the design.&nbsp; To get the mintmark on both the field and the rim it would have to be punched in deeper than the deepest areas of the buffalo.&nbsp; And even then it would only just be beginning to show on the top surface of the rim.&nbsp; Next problem is the mintmark on the rim would be the highest feature on the coin and the first area to wear away.&nbsp; This mintmark is sharp on the rim, not worn.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m calling it a fake or altered coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
