coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/09/2020 11:13 am Reverse looks double struck rotated slightly. (Note left wheat lines and the extra M on UNUM, also other devices are smaller than normal on the 'UNUMM'. Bottom of the right wheat also looks doubled near the top the stems. Looks like the same event on the obverse, but not as strong of a rotation. Its a fake. Edited by coop 10/09/2020 11:16 am Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/09/2020 11:24 am Great post by nss-52! The difference in the NINES is enough to raise doubt that the coin is real, but the image of a known counterfeit along side the image from alexgains coin closes the debate. Both coins were made using the same process from the same "dies." It's just not a real coin. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7624 Posts	Posted 10/09/2020 4:42 pm The only 59 mule that came close to being deemed "genuine" was the one that Mark Hoffman (convicted Utah murderer/bomber/counterfeiter/forger) supposedly passed off in the 1980's. I don't know if he was officially interviewed about his creation but there was plenty of stuff written about it several years ago when someone tried to auction it off Edit —- Supposedly it sold in June of last year in a Goldberg Auction for 60K$ unslabbed with no returns!

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/09/2020 7:23 pm I agree with the assessment that it's counterfeit. The nines not matching, the graininess of the surfaces and the markers aligning with the known counterfeit are overwhelming. I hope you only paid a cent for it. Report this Post to the Staff

nss-52 Moderator United States 54282 Posts	Posted 10/11/2020 09:21 am Unscrupulous roll sellers often throw in a known counterfeit to give uninformed buyers the impression that they got something good, hoping for a positive feedback comment.
