<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1497840, member: 37498&quot;]What do you mean by taking a coin apart, adding details, and putting it back together again?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, you say &quot;it would be impossible for the 1982 date to remain visible out in the level field of the coin...&quot;&nbsp; When you say &quot;remain visible&quot;, I get the impression you believe the 1982 date should have been obliterated by the second strike.&nbsp; But the 1982 date was likely from the second strike.&nbsp; If you mean that it wouldn&#039;t have been raised from the level field of the coin, I agree.&nbsp; That&#039;s one of the suspicious things about this coin for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not saying this coin is genuine, but is it not possible for a mint worker to toss a penny from his pocket into the hopper for grins and giggles?&nbsp; I knew a guy who worked at the West Point Mint when I was stationed at West Point, and they had very tight security going in and coming out, but I would imagine it isn&#039;t <i>impossible </i>for a year old penny to make its way into the mint.&nbsp; Either with a worker, or in a shipment of planchets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
