<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 3005565, member: 31286&quot;]So, to clarify what you are saying, could you show the coin in a TPG holder?&nbsp; Or at least give us some of the grading info - is it graded or details - did the second TPG come up with the same grade?&nbsp; I think I understand some of the basis of you research - very cool, but how do know or why do you suspect it&#039;s counterfeit rather than the product of just another die pairing.&nbsp; Maybe I missed it, but I didn&#039;t understand that from your article.&nbsp; You say it&#039;s an &quot;improbable&quot; die pairing.&nbsp; I would ask: why? and improbable doesn&#039;t mean impossible or even close to that, so why couldn&#039;t it have been struck at the SF mint?&nbsp; Just asking?</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking it in the PCGS list it certainly would be worth counterfeiting in small numbers if you could get and AU or better grade. Good money, but not so astronomical to arouse suspicion maybe?&nbsp; But then, the numbers for full grade examples in AU or better are so low that counterfeiting it successfully in large numbers would be counter-productive, wouldn&#039;t it.&nbsp; Kind of like finding a huge hoard.&nbsp; hmmm?</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting esoteric research for sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
