oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5240 Posts	Posted 09/13/2019 8:26 pm That looks pretty good.I also like the term "re-engineered date". It does not sound so bad. Report this Post to the Staff
John K Valued Member United States 419 Posts	Posted 09/13/2019 10:01 pm Wow that is scary. If it wasn't such a rare date I would have thought it real. My guess is they took a 1910 and re-tooled it.And did an excellent job. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/13/2019 10:06 pm Agree, altered 1910 is a good guess. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 09:36 am Love that side-by-side! From what I can see on the coin it was a 1910 with some very good work done on the "0" to create the 3. Always wonder when I see something like this if it ever was sold as the real deal and did fool someone. This one sure could. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 10:07 am One of the better 1913 fakes I have seen. Still easy to detect but great conversation piece. Report this Post to the Staff
