[QUOTE="Jack D. Young, post: 3010517, member: 93371"][ATTACH=full]746606[/ATTACH] It appears several of the struck fakes we have seen originated from lower cost damaged genuine source examples- apparently the group responsible have above average skills in repairs but little to no numismatic knowledge. Many of the resulting “varieties” can be identified through impossible die pairings and/ or die states (several of the known examples have had the die breaks “corrected” for some unknown reason). Much of the research and images can be found in the Coin Week articles: [url]https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/from-the-brink-to-the-dark-side-early-american-copper-struck-counterfeits-damaged-source-coins/[/url] And: [url]https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/brink-ii-update-struck-counterfeits-damaged-source-coins-1807-early-dime-friends/[/url] Of the “varieties” listed I have handled 1 1796 “S-85” large cent, 2 1798 “S-158” large cents, 1 1805 “C-4” half cent, and the apparent source genuine 1854 Huge O quarter.
