seanqueue Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 05/02/2019 12:02 pm I am voting counterfeit. Dates were not punched by hand after 1908, so the entire bottom of the obverse should be doubled as much as the date. I see slight doubling on the stars to the left of the date but nothing on the base of the neck or the stars to the right. Strong, isolated doubling like that can be created if the counterfeit die was created using a pantograph lathe and the bit jumps or shifts as it is tracing the design into the die.

To the right Stars as attached crop photo shows doubling, I don't know if these are flash/lighting makes like it doubled. Using photo by a seller on Obverse if you check the Stars it's has doubling.

Great point! However, I disagree with it being counterfeit. I think it is much more likely that the coin was improperly cleaned (hairlines on face and under chin) and what we are seeing is the glare coming off the polished devices. Considering how there is only one image of the coin on this thread (that has been edited ten times over), it's a good possibility it was just the image. Report this Post to the Staff

I believe the Indian cent retained hand punched dates through 1909. I think the V nickel was hand punched through 1912. Barber dime, quarter, and half through the end of those series. The Saint-Gaudens gold ended hand punched dates for those denominations, and the 2 1/2 and $5 stopped hand punching in 1908. Report this Post to the Staff

What hubbing processes has same anomaly on 2 different coins on same series 1910 V nickel as photo attached? Report this Post to the Staff

I just did some photo overlays, and it appears that the dates were hand-punched up to and including 1908. After that, every date was an exact match. Report this Post to the Staff
