Tempting but I'll pass :) I really don't think it's a fake, why would someone go to the trouble of faking such a common date anyway?

That looks really cool. Hmm, "circulation cameo"... now I know what to search for to find one of my own  |

Neat term, really brings out the design, doesn't it?

Nice Coin! I've never been a fan of circulation cameo (neat term, I agree), but it does bring out the design quite nicely. I wonder what happened to the 2 in the date.

I was wondering about the "2" as well. Glad someone asked. Almost looks like someone tried to do a crude over-punch.

That is odd. I have no idea what could have caused that. It looks like a perfect oval, so I don't think it was scratched in. I also don't know of anything that would punch an oval (or at least a backwars "C") into it either. I don't think is was stamped with it either, stamps usually happen in the feilds so that it is more obvious, and I've never seen a doubled stamp, on the curve below the 2 makes it look doubled. Huh.
I know it probably makes me a wee bit loopy, every time I see something like this I always think "Hmm, what could have caused this?"

Looks like a common oval shaped zero "0" punch was used...the shape isn't perfectly round like a typical "o".

I don't know, there seems to be a little mark at the top right of the the mark that looks like it could be the top serif of a C (type a C in the quick reply thing below and you'll see what I mean).

Ah, yes, the "serif" of an uppercase "C". That's a good point...looks like a likely explination as well! Good eye.

Just a little Canon Digital Elph point and shoot. I have a small desktop tripod, manual mode, macro setting, no flash, ISO 100.
Setting the ISO low is key, otherwise the pics are grainy.
