    The Mint is always looking for a "few good men" to work on the engraving staff.

    I wonder if that coin actually exists or if the date is just photoshopped on there.

    Interesting that it has a small rim clip at K-4:30. That makes me think this is a modern fake of Chinese origin, as opposed to a contemporary counterfeit, as the former would be produced in larger quantities using processes similar to the US Mint.

    The baseline of the date is at the wrong angle.

    It's the extremely rare "slanted date" variety.
