[QUOTE="TreasureSlugN1851, post: 2056910, member: 72934"]I figured it might be worth cracking out... what if it is a doubling?... maybe... from a long shot though... some really cool friend of a friend who works at a mint noticed some errors... got them out without anyone knowing and decided to pour acrylic over them and sell them as souvenirs? Makes sense to me... the people buying them not being the wiser would never crack them out... thus the employee or friend will never get caught? like I said long shot... but if you look at the rotation there are certain points with a stronger rotation. EX> the head of Lincoln distance compared to the doubling of the 2008... its a real coin from what I know... so in my mind 1. its a fake, 2. its real and the acrylic gives it a doubling look without doubling actually being there... or 3... ITS a real doubling that no one has seen yet and there could be a couple hundred out there... I figured as well it should crack out in perfect condition... pretty sure the acrylic doesnt bond to the metal... just holds it.[/QUOTE]
