<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1088734, member: 23626&quot;]Counterfeiters of the &quot;no cents&quot; variety often buff the gold plating down so it is worn. Today, I don&#039;t think it is possible to tell a &quot;real&quot; one. It&#039;s a fun story and certainly others were said to have done the plating job. But I think moreso to sell to collectors than anything else. Especially after the scam was made known. I often wondered if the story were in fact true, or just a wives tale used to generate sales of the &quot;racketeer coins&quot; as curiosities at a buck a pop ? In any event, it made the annals of numismatic history. IMHO</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
