check the rims as reports are obv/rev are being sandwiched to make some of these.



pcgs just examined and returned at least a couple in unc body-bagged.

from my understanding, it is not the edge but the rims.

i'm going to ttt this thread a few times given the value of these coins and considering this is the window period.



the info is that there could be numerous floating around but can be easily detected when knowing to look for it so don't let this prohibit you from purchasing.



just know what you are doing going in and/or having a guarantee in place from a seller.

Some of these be unintentional, ie. "Magician's coins." Ive heard of at least one person who thought he had discovered a 1996 WIDE AM (which has the TYPE II or proof reverse) only to have the two sides of the coin come apart upon closer inspection.

fwiw



got a report of a bad one in a slab.



love that guarantee though.



these are not magicians coins. i wouldn't make a fuss for such a situation.

only to have the two sides of the coin come apart upon closer inspection.

are you able to get images and/or more info. weight, etc.?



a magicians coin would be hollow or 2 similar sided. having a variety with correct weight and well-hidden details sounds more like scam than entertainment. imo.

I saw one of these yesterday that had been rejected by our hosts. The seam is easily visible on the lower obverse rim, but it was carefully put together using the correct die alignment.

In today's world one must be ever so vigilant when it comes to counterfeits.

I do not recall ever seeing pictures of the rim to help identifying these fakes.... Does anyone have one to post?? Cheers, RickO
