It would be hard if not impossible to get them correct on a forgery. The 37 D 3 leg Buffalo is another example with many PUP. The 16 d dime doesn't have many and there were a couple of different dies used so you really need to know what to look for. The 09 s V.D.B only had one die and I'm always surprised how many fakes are out there. Most can be caught because it has the Philly V.D.B not the San Fran V.D.B Report this Post to the Staff
