MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 10/29/2014 10:03 pm Pretty cool Harvey. I picked up that 1825 contemporary counterfeit you pointed out on ebay in a different thread a while back. The seller messaged me after I had paid and said someone wrote to him that it was fake and wanted to buy it. I wrote back that I knew it was (thanks to you) and I wanted to go through with the transaction. It's my first contemporary counterfeit but certainly not my last. -MV Report this Post to the Staff
harveypb Valued Member United States 341 Posts	Posted 10/29/2014 10:08 pm The 1825 1/A variety piece almost looks real. It was probably made from discarded mint dies.... Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4433 Posts	Posted 10/30/2014 10:35 pm Neat piece, Harvey. I can't help but wonder if it was holed and carried by a bank employee back in the 1800's. I'm guessing that whoever holed it likely knew it was a counterfeit; and, possibly used it for show and tell. Report this Post to the Staff
