Another good point. I'll have to check with admin before reposting a bunch of stuff but hopefully I can share this for now. My brother is in dentistry and I remember hearing something about using x-rays for authenticating coins so I had a scan of some sort done on the 1914 Half Penny on this thread. I assume a coin would come out with the die design and any abnormalities would show up better through the scan. Now I don't mind saying focus on this area or that, again, I believe there are abnormalities in design on these coins. However, if I say look at the purple unicorn on whatever dignitaries head, everyone will pack up shop and give me a number to a psychiatrist or something. Here is a scan of the 1914 Half Penny
