    Have you seen this auction? Ebay #130081928512
    He claims it to be a dropped initials. Sold for more than $600.
    Wouldn't it be more likely that it's just a dent from the initials. I decided to see how easy this would be to happen or to fake, so I took two washington dollars and a rawhide mallet. Sure enough after postioning one edge over the others intials and one gentle hit later I had an EXACT reproduction. There would be no way to tell the difference. I think he knows this trick, too. I'm sceptical of this guy.

    Oh and if you decided not the read the paragraph above, would you like a rare error. Only $600.

    Now, Roy, lets be kind to these folks, that should be 7 uninformed individuals who are certainly better off without their money and should forward it to us instead, since we would be better able to treat their funds with respect.
    And one unfortunate individual who has donated his funds to the seller in a manner that will not enable him to take a tax deduction of the loss on the eventual sale of the coin.
    Also, man, they are dumb.
