<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 2860975, member: 44316"]True. In fact, I think it makes a coin more likely to be genuine, but not desirable. If you were a criminal counterfeiter, why make a fake so off-center? I wonder if the weights are even close to right. They seem to be high grade so they should be full weight. If they are not, it is a very bad sign.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most people don't really want several similar coins, so when offered a group they think about keeping one and selling the rest. This triggers the greed response when the coins seem cheap. A nice coin of that type is worth quite a bit. Don't think those are worth anywhere near what a nice one is. They seem to have "problems." Don't let any "this is a good deal" idea mislead you. It is highly unlikely to be a good deal you can profit from. If you could, the man attempting to sell them to you would do it himself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
