<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jack D. Young, post: 3005626, member: 93371&quot;]Called an impossible die pairing due to the 1872 Philly obverse and 1875 SF reverse and wrong year reeding- no logical way the mint(s) would have combined these three elements to strike this &quot;coin&quot;. And then when several are found with the same circulation marks on each stamped from the remade dies that aids in confirmation of counterfeit. In addition, three example were sold by three known bad sellers on eBay (of previous counterfeits). Of the 22 &quot;varieties&quot; of similar struck fakes from my Mass 1787 &quot;half cent&quot; to a couple of 1836 &quot;Gobrechts&quot; the largest number of any one variety documented is 9 (1798 &quot;S-158&quot; large cent). The sellers seem to be very patient... And, the largest price paid for one, a 1793 &quot;S-5&quot; large cent was $14K+.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]744562[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]744563[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
