Re: So how does someone make a fake error like this?
<< <i>As for how it was done, all one would need is a false set of dies. >> Easier said than done. I think this error is real. -
Re: Found some coins my mom left me: real or fake?
Repeating defects such as this is a sure sign of fake coins made from the same set of false dies. They're probably made from real gold though. -
Re: raw 1933-s half just sold for $10k in Czech auction
On further review and comparison with one I have plus high quality photos. The auction item is a complete and total fake. Made from false dies. -
Re: 1964-D Lincoln on Gold planchet, Weight is in...
It could easily be gold. Don't forget about all the counterfeit 1964 error cents struck from false dies. The same "mint" could have produced this coin. -

Re: Is This A Joke? EBay Seller Advertising damaged Or Counterfeit Buffalo Nickel
There is a rectangle surrounding the date that I have never seen on another Buffalo Nickel. Perhaps it’s a way to change the date on false die with a drop in like Joseph Merriam used on his Tuttle’s Restaurant and Harvey Lewis sutler dies? The reverse looks odd.

Re: This 21-S Walker is slabbed by our host as "repaired" Can anyone tell where it was repaired?
In that case, the slabbed one is also probably cast, not struck from false dies. If anyone can see that clearly from these images, I’d like to know how. Not that I doubt it’s possible. -
Re: I personally find this to be somewhat unethical...am I wrong.
The only thing missing is that his dog just died. I find it interesting that "slander" was used. (False statements injurious to a person's reputation.) Since the statements are true, might be closer to gossip!
