DoubleEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1750 Posts	Posted 01/28/2015 8:18 pm Has anyone seen a fake 1916-D in AG grade? Curious as I plan to buy an AG-03 one in a major TPG holder. I am thinking it would be much harder to fake one in AG, certainly less profitable. Edited by DoubleEagle20 01/28/2015 8:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 01/28/2015 8:37 pm I'd put counterfeits of ultra rare coins in a completely different category. No one makes an 1804 dollar hoping that it will be mistaken for a six digit value coin. It's more of a novelty. It's the ones that have a high probability of sneaking by that are true counterfeits. My vote is for the 16D Merc and 14D LWC. Report this Post to the Staff

I've seen a few G-F that are made by chopping a dime in half and sandwiching it in a hard edged holder, 1916-P on one side and a D reverse on the other. Always check the seam/rim! Though the mintmark style and position is what really gave it away, but at first glance even with a loupe it looked fine. It was in a " Coin World" or early ANACS white type of holder.
