    I can only hope that Snuffy's engraving skills improved with time.

    Notice the gentle splashes of scoring across the face? Could it be that Freddy Krueger once took this elusive pretty out of it's cardboard flip?

    One of my favorite "coins" that I no longer have was an electrotype of a fairly high grade 1813 large cent altered to 1815.

    Does being a fake fake make it real?

    I've looked at that one a few times now and it still hurts my eyes. How could someone be so cruel?

    Send it in to PCGS, and if there's a grading crew there with a sense of humor, they'll slab/return it as Details - Questionable Color. :)

    I'm still looking for one with a hole in it for my set. I would like one of each type.
