Message:: [QUOTE="Jack D. Young, post: 3961448, member: 93371"]Legomaster1 actually posted my initial Coin Week article earlier in this post Johndoe2000$! It is at : <a href="https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/struck-counterfeit-coin-week-1806-c-1-half-cent-1-page-attribution-guide/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/struck-counterfeit-coin-week-1806-c-1-half-cent-1-page-attribution-guide/" rel="nofollow">https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/struck-counterfeit-coin-week-1806-c-1-half-cent-1-page-attribution-guide/</a> These coins match a genuine 1806 C-1 half cent because a genuine example was used as the "source" to manufacture the dies. Since this article I have documented there are actually 2 "die varieties", one with a "cut" on the "A" of HALF, the 2nd with an apparent attempted repair resulting in the "plugged A". I have also sent examples in for some detailed metallurgical testing at a test facility in PA and compared to control examples of known genuine ones we have been able to "characterize" two varieties of half cent counterfeits, but that is beyond the scope of this post.[/QUOTE]
