coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/31/2018 12:31 pm Its fake. Do you know how to tell? The rest of the devices/bust would also be affected, and the reverse as well. Fake. Edited by coop 12/31/2018 12:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 12/31/2018 1:51 pm Was this a die-struck fake then? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/31/2018 1:57 pm More of an image alteration. It could happen also on a soft die fake, but it would probably leave more damage to the normal devices. Soft die fakes usually alter just one side of the coin. But when you don't see the doubling that should happen on a double struck cent, it was altered. On a double struck coin, the strongest strike is the last one: Edited by coop 12/31/2018 2:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 12/31/2018 2:05 pm with Mr Coop. If it were a genuine doubled die, other devices would be affected. It's a nicely done fake though. Happy hunting! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

No, if other devices were affected it would be double struck. A doubled die is something different. Looks like a fake for the reasons Coop pointed out.

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5238 Posts	Posted 12/31/2018 2:33 pm I've got two questions, which date is the add on, top or bottom? And, if it's the top date how did they get the serifs to go through the bottom date so seamlessly? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/31/2018 2:39 pm With an overlay option on Photoshop it can be added weaker. Edited by coop 12/31/2018 2:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 12/31/2018 4:09 pm To the OP: If this is this your coin, I would still be forced to consider the possibility of a soft double strike. Otherwise, I would have to agree with coop. Report this Post to the Staff
