Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/28/2013 3:18 pm I don't know if anyone else has posted this, but it's a bit strange. It's a 1961 Franklin Proof with a 1793 One Cent Over-Strike covering about 35% of both sides. 221273339235 Someone's doing something weird with a set of dies.

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 08/28/2013 3:24 pm It has to be a set of chinese dies for making counterfeits. The original dies I'm sure were destroyed by use in 1793. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/28/2013 4:59 pm I would have to guess that it was done with Gallery Mint dies, they created many different "errors" in addition to the normal copies. I would also guess that if it was of Chinese origin, the host coin would be counterfeit as well Report this Post to the Staff
