g048406 Pillar of the Community 861 Posts	Posted 05/27/2013 11:21 pm I have a roll of Buffalo nickels, all with dates-some restored. If you are the 1st one to solve this 'brain teaser', I will send them to you. Ready: In 1919, former President Theodore Roosevelt walked into a coin store. He takes out a new silver medal and shows it to the dealer. On the obverse, it has the date 1918 and a big "V". The reverse says "Victory World War I". The dealer immediately tells Roosevelt, "it's a fake"...........Why is it a fake? Edited by g048406 05/28/2013 01:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

g048406 Pillar of the Community 861 Posts	Posted 05/28/2013 12:24 am Though doubtful, it would still be possible for him to walk into the coin store. If this riddle goes unsolved, I will add a clue tomorrow night Report this Post to the Staff
