<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 879462, member: 19165&quot;]I would recommend you do a search on the Heritage archives for &quot;tooled&quot; and &quot;re-engraved&quot;. The results are exactly what you will be looking for. Just a few obvious examples: </p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=432&amp;Lot_No=823" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=432&amp;Lot_No=823" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=432&amp;Lot_No=823</a></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=428&amp;Lot_No=2291" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=428&amp;Lot_No=2291" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=428&amp;Lot_No=2291</a></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=334&amp;Lot_No=6595" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=334&amp;Lot_No=6595" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=334&amp;Lot_No=6595</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Note how in each of them, the affected details are considerably stronger than you would expect for the level of wear they display? They are also generally fake looking. The last one I linked, the half dollar, is particularly relevant to your question, I believe, because the obverse is the same design as your coin in the dollar size. All that being said, these coins started out as genuine coins to begin with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
