I would love a copy! The one in my Penny set: A fairly average altering job...or maybe it's an overdate 1930 over 1931? Another...odd colouring Reasonable Huge round O Silvered one from Downies (my most expensive $80 ex comms.) A contemporary lead copy? Forgery? China...love you long time (just to see the job they did) Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 05/29/2012 2:21 pm Nice selection. The China one looks to me to be the most credible. Did it start out as 1920? life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
Australian coin Pillar of the Community Australia 1244 Posts	Posted 05/29/2012 9:52 pm Thanks for sharing; it always makes me more confused the more I try to learn about the 1930 penny. Your coins are fantastic! I have a few china copies that I have toned down to see how they do it. The china stuff gets better and better now days and it get so hard to spot a fake. And I used to keep in contact with one of the main china dudes who manufacture these. Fun fact is he now works training US money experts how the fakes are made and how to detect them. I did once read how they copy coins, something along the lines that they get a real coin or a similar one and put it in a machine that bounces lasers off it and it can make a pretty close copy die. Most of them tho have lighter detail in the stamp. Report this Post to the Staff
