<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 8201191, member: 27832&quot;]Then I&#039;m going to count this:</p><p><br /></p><p>...as at least a partial victory.

That doesn&#039;t work for gold dollars, where the date and mint mark are both on the reverse. But here&#039;s the coin that made me think along those lines:</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/51-c-obv-cropped-jpg.620193/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/51-c-rev-cropped-jpg.620194/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d guess grafting a common obverse onto this, and fixing the hole, might tempt some people. But I can&#039;t imagine the result passing close scrutiny, <i>especially</i> if you can see photos of both sides of the coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
