Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3323 Posts	Posted 12/22/2020 12:36 pm I can't see any obvious signs of fakery - hard to tell from their photos. Personally, I think you could get a nice two-cent piece for about the same money unless he's looking for this particular sort of example. Edited for grammar.

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/24/2020 9:23 pm Gone before I had a chance to see it. 2 cent pieces are pretty well known to have Grease Filled Dies, I have quite a few missing letters, partial and entire words, as well as date numbers multiple single and entire date really weak or missing. They would be considered errors yet bring little to no premium in pricing. I've seen MS65 and higher slabbed ones with missing letters and partial words in the legend. Not at all uncommon.
