#FR01-
This beauty is the famous
"two-sided coin" used
by magicians and gamblers and
"jokesters". It is made from
two real coins that have been
cut and milled to fit one
piece into the other and a
very nice job too, very
realistic and hard to detect
even upon closest
inspection.
FAKE or REAL?

This KENNEDY
Half Dollar
possibly
has been altered
outside of the
mint.
However, the
lack of detail
is sometimes
passed off as
being
"struck through
grease"
but the
reeding and the
reverse
sides are
O.K...Could this
be FAKE or
REAL? We
leave it up to
you.

This 1966
Lincoln Cent
was recently
sold as being
a "mint
error."
It could have
been
altered...but
who knows?
maybe the
reverse
"scratches"
are from being
in
circulation.
This type of
error is known
to
exist.
If you want
this coin, you
judge for
yourself. FAKE OR
REAL?

The
Good Old
"Two-sided
coin" (usually
a dime on one
side and a
penny on the
other. It is
usually used
by magicians
and gamblers.
It would be
virtually
impossible for
this to happen
at the mint.
It is also
known as a
"MULE"
coin. FAKE or
REAL?

Lincoln Cent (called
a
"Rooslinc" by
some) with
an Imprint
of a Roosevelt
Dime -
Click on the
"ZOOM" buttons to
get sharp detail.
This is one of
those "Is it or
Isn't it? This
could be, or... It
could be made
outside the mint
or possibly it was
not. It is
a truly
interesting
conversation
piece. FAKE OR
REAL? We
leave the decision
up to you.

HERE
is
one very
"Obvious"
Fake
coin..but
if you take a
poor dark
picture and
claim your
camera is at
fault, then
write a very
misleading
discription
stating that
one side is
blank and that
there are Cuds
on the reverse
(which are
actually drops
of solder) you
might sell
your
fraudulent
coin. FAKE
or
REAL?
This
coin is
to illustrate
how poorly a
fake can
appear and
still be sold
to the novice
"Unsuspecting"
collector.

In case
of this coin,
I can say that
we thought at
first that
it was a
coin that had
been put on
the railroad
tracks and
flattened, but
with a closer
look, it's
a 1978
Jefferson
Nickel
(Get
Ready)....)
If
this is
a Broadstruck-Multistrike-
It
could
be VERY RARE,
and a coin of
value.(or it
could be FAKE)
CLICK
"IMAGE"
for a detailed
surprise.
This is an
AMAZING
COIN!
WAS it done
outside the
mint - or is
it an error.?
You decide..It
is nearly
as big as a
half dollar.
Jefferson has
a left and a
right profile
if you look
close.

#FR10 This beauty is a
questionable work
of art at best. Is
this the result of a
thin edge planchet from
the end of the
roll. Or was it
flattened out side of
the mint? FAKE or
REAL?

Hope
this helps to determine
which is the FAKE and which
is REAL. Most are
altered, but they are
real coins with alterations.
