<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ObsoleteCurrency, post: 1188577, member: 31240&quot;]An elderly couple at my church gave me this coin many years ago. The weight checks out. Looking at the edges, it doesn&#039;t appear that anyone has modified the date by drilling through the side and raising the metal where the date is supposed to be.</p><p><br /></p><p>One dealer recently thought that the coin is a 1931-S coin which got banged up on the 9 separating it into two 1&#039;s. If you examine the date up close and personal, it doesn&#039;t appear that that is what happened because the first two 1&#039;s in the date are fatter then the third 1. If the 11131 was a 1931 coin that suffered damage it would look a little different with the second 1 being more curved then the third 1.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5ZzOBZnnxK0/Tdwh3uB-q6I/AAAAAAAAAEI/G8F14HwYqUo/s1600/Buffalo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-95TQ0o_KV5A/Tdwh6pe3hhI/AAAAAAAAAEM/8FA33XTXBuo/s1600/BuffaloDate.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Any suggestions on how to determine if this error is authentic or an alteration?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
