<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Puddin&#039;Farts, post: 3436435, member: 100439&quot;]You&#039;re right, I&#039;m just trying to make jokes. I do believe the nickel could be genuine only because of how perfect the designs match up and the way the misplaced ribbon looks on the Obverse, not to mention it all being raised. Could also be fake, but someone was very good at making fake dies if that&#039;s the case. I&#039;d like to meet him to know how he managed to stamp all those Roosevelt&#039;s over Lincoln<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> If someone was so good at making fake dies, how can anyone ever be so certain that those double denomination coins in slabs weren&#039;t from the same talents? At least it&#039;s a 1964 nickel...on a 1964 nickel. Not a Lincoln that somehow got struck then magically hopped into the dime chamber<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m trying to understand the logistics is all. I know that the guys verifying these as genuine errors are the real deal and very experienced, but I just don&#039;t get it. If it&#039;s so easy to &quot;tamper&quot; and &quot;experiment&quot; with old coins for fun, what would stop a determined spirit from making the perfect Morgan Die, buying a blank $1 silver planchet, then striking it twice? How is it determined that that is 100% not the case, yet so easy to say this nickel was double struck by a false die of such perfection? The coin looks abused for sure, but it could have passed through circulation before ever being noticed too. I&#039;m not saying anyone is wrong because I wouldn&#039;t be entirely surprised, but how can it be so certain? </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m new to error coins, so understanding and learning is the point I&#039;m at, but after seeing the very first fully stamped Lincoln with a minor impression of Roosevelt on it years ago, I&#039;ve found myself wondering time and time again exactly how this is even an error. Either someone purposely puts cents into the dime dies, or someone does it outside if the mint. No error. I find it hard to believe Mr Lincoln and Mr Roosevelt worked shoulder to shoulder and flipped coins to bet on who&#039;s paying for lunch. It just doesn&#039;t seem likely to be unintentional. At least the nickel is a nickel of the same year, yet it&#039;s impossible. Just don&#039;t get these types of coins I guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
