jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 11/17/2022 5:22 pm I don't think the knife did much damage, even though it was not the best tool for the job. Similar to what the OP said, I think the underlying surface was previously altered and roughed up to make the mintmark adhere to the surface better. Suffering from bust half fever.

southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 11/18/2022 10:07 am Thanks for the article Bobby- I was wondering how a fake mm might be added or even created. As someone who was involved with fraud investigations for over 30 years, it peaks my interest. I would be interested in reading more as it relates to coin if anyone has more information. Taking that info one step further, what type of tool could be inserted into the small hole and how could it raise the precise metal to create a mm? I know, more questions than answers. I don't know a successful counterfeiter to ask. Report this Post to the Staff
