We have been here, done that. Yes it could happen, but I won't hold my breath.

I doubt it will either but remember the not-so-long-ago find of the 1933 Double Eagles?

I think we need better close ups, and of both sides, in order to determine the authenticity of the coin..

It may be just the angle of the photo, though. |

 The 3 appeared off to me at first glance, too. Better pictures are definitely needed. |

Blowing up that image is good enough. The 3 is completely wrong. It isn't even as good as the commonly seen altered 1910's with the 0 altered to a 3. Quote:I'm pretty sure all the 1913 Liberty nickels are accounted for, finding a new one would be earth shaking You can't say they are all accounted for because there was no record of how many were made. But all five known pieces are accounted for. After 92 years it isn't too likely that a sixth one will appear. But the fourth known 1853-O no arrows or rays half dollar just recently showed up. First new specimen in 105 years. So never say never. |

That 3 clinches it - very poorly altered. Darn - I was hoping it had a better chance of being authentic!

Remember the Chinese have faked this one also. Here is the pic of the one Big Tree Factory was making and selling on ebay a few years ago (before getting kicked off):  and here is a legit one from PCGS  Yes - yours is worn and the fake above is not worn looking. But the Chinese were smart and also made worn looking coins. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Yeah, thats a really bad attempt. You would think a little more effort would have been made for something that only 5 of exist.
