I hope someone can help me with a link .

Auction # 110497856384 , caught my eye . It is a double struck dime .

Upon further scrutiny I noticed the Obv. is appx.1/4 off , yet the rev. is 1/2 turned ??

I look at his other auctions , and see he has auction # 110497854691 , a 2009 cent with a simular

double strike . My guess is fakes that are made as errors to hide the fact they are not legit .

It sure seems strange that two error such as this would make their way half way around the world ...........

    The seller's auction states this is a "restructured coin". I don't really know what that means, but I assume he is saying the coin does not exhibit a genuine mint-made error.

    And, to me, it is a very obvious fake.

    << <i>So let me understand something here on the boards, does anybody here actually view U.S. coins that are being sold by citizens of other countries ( I would probably exclude England from this warning post)image >>



    If the seller lists it worldwide a buyer doesnt know its origin until its viewed.

    I suspect that it was made by taking two genuine coins.
    One coin had the rim and back cut off, leaving it very thin.
    The other coin had the front cut out leaving the rim and a
    very thin back. Both remaining thin pieces were embossed
    by molds made from the original genuine coins. The pieces
    were then assembled, just like those two-headed novelty
    magician coins.

    Note that the apparent second strike on the obverse is rotated
    90 degrees, while on the reverse it is rotated 180 degrees.
    Impossible !

    Looks like he sold a 76 aluminum Lincoln not so long ago too.
