<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 8050071, member: 104064&quot;]However, with the effort involved, it seems likely they would use the same reverse die for multiple dates, and thus end up with die combinations that never existed. I&#039;ve seen this a bit with more obvious counterfeits. Fake 1895-O dimes for example almost always have the wrong reverse type.</p><p><br /></p><p>Isn&#039;t there also some kind of laser etching technique? On another forum (CCF) there was a lengthy discussion of a rare Canadian cent (1881?) that went through multiple rounds of being authenticated, then deemed fake, then authenticated again, etc. The smoking gun was tiny laser etching lines in the relief of the coin. I recall that it had the precise metal composition but was also an unknown die pair.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
