<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 3064343, member: 34882&quot;]Just a guess but I imagine the Chinese or others were minting tons of fakes that only had to stand up to the mildest scrutiny that were getting sent back as mutilated coin redemption&#039;s. I recall reading that companies using that program supposedly shipping back coins found in scrap metal from cars, etc exchanged more value wise in half dollars than the U.S. has ever minted. My work in loss prevention has taught me that good crooks will usually put in some effort. I could see them mass minting fakes such as these purposely damaging them and then sending them in for redemption to try and avoid suspicion. And some would probably slip through the cracks and end up getting into commerce or being sold via Ebay, etc somehow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
