tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 11/08/2022 01:36 am Yeah, I do think it's kind of cool getting a chance to see what shenanigans folks have gone to in order to try and pass off a fake coin. Next up will be to see if we can figure out where the counterfeit 2007 Washington dollars came from. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15537 Posts	Posted 11/08/2022 06:45 am Nice example. I can't tell by your photo, so please advise what did the counterfeiters do with the VDB on Lincoln shoulder? Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 11/08/2022 09:11 am I should have photographed that as well, but the counterfeiters did in fact nicely buff off the VDB on the shoulder as well. They knew to do that. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5684 Posts	Posted 11/08/2022 12:14 pm The spacing and the shape of the 4 make it an obvious counterfeit, but it's exceptionally well done! I'm sure it would fool a lot of people. Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 11/08/2022 1:04 pm Easily detected by whether or not VDB is on the obverse portrait. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 11/08/2022 8:35 pm Adding an image of the lower bust to show the loss of the VDB. A surprising amount of work went into this area so they were well aware of the importance of removing the letters. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98107 Posts	Posted 11/08/2022 8:48 pm Nice example, glad it is now out of circulation now. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
