The trouble is, the coin is an altered error.</p><p><br /></p><p>Notice the flattening of the details and mushy designs on the second strike, a good sign it was hit with fake dies. For an altered coin, it is not even a good one really. </p><p><br /></p><p>Still, a pretty neat find I got for a very cheap price. It is important to study faked and altered coins to give you a good idea of what to look for.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Joe Cronin</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1078013[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1078014[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1078011[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1078012[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>These two below are much better altered coins that would fool even many experienced dealers...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1078016[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1078017[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1078018[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1078019[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
