<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 159923, member: 5233&quot;]Hey GD, I was curious why you think this is a counterfit rather than a coin that had some kind of chemical treatment.&nbsp; My main reason for wondering is it is a 1908 Indian Head Cent, which is a rather common coin-why would someone make a fake of a coin that has minimal value?&nbsp; If it was an 1908-S (which I would consider &quot;semi-key&quot;) that would make sense to me...but a 1908?</p><p><br /></p><p>Doesn&#039;t it seem more likely that over a 100 year period this coin had something happen to it (chemicals, weather, ect...) that caused odd coloring?&nbsp; What modivation would someone have for making a fake?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not trying to &quot;say your wrong&quot; but being someone with a lot more knowledge/experience in the field than myself; I was wondering what your take on this would be.&nbsp; I would like to understand the mindset of the counterfitter if it is indeed a fake, because I wouldn&#039;t think this case would be modivated by greed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
