<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3630759, member: 19463"]Not I. If I were a journeyman coin tooler, I would do what I thought I could do and slip it by the buyers rather than tooling every fault making it obvious that it was done by someone not quite up to being undetected. Are there masters of tooling who can slip things by the British Museum and NGC (among others)? We can prove that there are toolers who can't fool the CT crowd but we can never prove that the better thing does not exist. If I were to tool a coin, I would feel lucky to improve one hair. Knowing how to mix truth and lies is so a dangerous a skill we coined a word for it - "Politics".</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Ninger" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Ninger" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Ninger</a></p><p>If you read the above link, don't miss:</p><p>"Notably, he omitted the line crediting the Bureau of Engraving and Printing from all of his bills,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Ninger#cite_note-nyt1-3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Ninger#cite_note-nyt1-3" rel="nofollow">[3]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Ninger#cite_note-AH-7" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Ninger#cite_note-AH-7" rel="nofollow">[7]</a> and some of them were also missing the counterfeiting warning.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Ninger#cite_note-AH-7" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Ninger#cite_note-AH-7" rel="nofollow">[7]</a> When asked why he omitted the Bureau of Engraving and Printing credit on his bills, Ninger responded, "Because dey [sic] didn't make dem [sic]."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Ninger#cite_note-8" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Ninger#cite_note-8" rel="nofollow">[8]</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
