<p>[QUOTE="Sam Carter, post: 3064094, member: 94104"]I post this originally in the Error section, but I still don’t have an answer. I found this 1971 Kennedy while roll searching and only pulled it because of the silver edge. There obvious problems here that tell us it’s not real. There’s a philly mint mark, Kennedy’s head is too small, the serif size and spacing is off on the date, finish on the coin is odd (almost feels slippery) it weighs about 2grams less than a real Kennedy. Same diameter and thickness as real Kennedy.So my question is what is this? I’ve researched novelty, trick coins from the seventies thinking it was something from the back of a comic book. Nothing. It’s not a magicians coin. So why fake and a poor fake a 1971 Kennedy?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]768962[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]768963[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]768965[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
