Vice Job Or Incredibly Rare Brockage?

IF real why not have it authenticated?

I thought about the odd date, considered what wear and/or a hit at the top of the 3 would do, and considered how that might look transferred as a counterbrockage and then circulated some. Yes, some of it doesn't compute easily.

I would still have spent the money, and then dissected it under my own lenses.

How'd they do it? Where's the underlying detail? Heck, if the coin was at original weight and diameter - something we don't know - I would consider a vise job impossible. As it is, pretty darn unlikely.

It's hard to be that certain from the photos, they are not that clear.

Yet I can't come up with a scenario that would have a contemporary mint product with an incorrect 6.

The dies stamp a coin and it sticks to the reverse die - I can buy that, the 3CS are so light it wouldn't take much grease at all to happen.

But how does that 6 get hit to change it's shape AND the obverse die ALSO has the wrong 6?


Ah well, unless one of us bought it and sends it in and owns up to having bought it, we'll never know...

The sharpness and evenness are what bother me. What about making an obverse out of material hard enough to strike with? Turn out a carbide counterfeit specifically to strike the brockage into a softer counterfeit's reverse.

Prior sales from the seller? I don't log into ebay from my smartphone so I can't see their Feedback. These dates are much clearer, and dealbreakers. All I need to see.

Thanks, man. All we need to see. I officially renounce my interest in this coin.
