<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2907657, member: 19463"]Remember it is always possible for there to be more than one thing going on at the same time. I agree with the double strike idea. Raised pimples are associated with some fakes but I've seen some I believe came from a coin being in fire (cleaned with a blowtorch???). Here we have the reason I am glad I am not a dealer and doubly glad I don't work for a grading service where I am expected to tell the difference between real and fake for every coin I see. It is easier to tell the difference between coins I want to buy and coins I don't without having to explain why. I most certainly have coins I find interesting for reasons not all that different from that doubled profile. I might have bought that one for that oddity. The pimples add nothing I find interesting so I would have walked away without comment. Is it a coin you want to see someday offered in a sale as "ex (your name goes here) collection"?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
