I told him it could have been removed but my question is, has anyone else seen this error on a 44 cent? And if not, is it most likely a fake? regards, mitch Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 09/16/2015 5:57 pm Never saw one like that. It's been heavily circulated so if someone had removed the LIBERTY the evidence has been obliterated. Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 09/16/2015 8:01 pm I would say Greaser. There is a uniform swelling of the surface where liberty should be. Someone would have to have been very precise in removing liberty , leaving a swell and no dips. Report this Post to the Staff
rynegold Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 09/19/2015 1:00 pm All the above that's been said is true: could be a " Greaser" or it has been altered. Question is, why? There's no money here is there? I mean... what could it (in this condition) be worth? 10bux? 20? Report this Post to the Staff
