<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 26317633, member: 31620&quot;]I believe that these were trying to be pretending to be &quot;real&quot; uncleaned coins rather than barbarous imitations. They were seeded into large batches of uncleaned coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years later (2009 ish) a new batch of fakes were seeded into uncleaned lots or even as &quot;hoards&quot; in batches of 1,000 at a time. These were derived from real coins but they were easy to spot in this large batches due to the very limited number of dies involved and also the impossible pairings that were created.</p><p>I created this image at the time illustrating the point on this second batch. They still turn up for sale regularly today.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1680310[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1680309[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
