  Those have been discussed from time to time when they pop up on ebay. I always wondered what inspired them to choose 1865.

  New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  Imagine, an "honest" seller of fakes, he even states he marks them with a Copy stamp to comply with the Hobby Protection Act.
