Eagleeye Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Cool coin. Always wondered how do you tell the old ones from the new ones if they are'nt attributable to a well known artist..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostDutchman Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 most of these are not able to be traced to a certian artist... a lot of these guys would make these to sell for more then a nickel. It was a pretty smart idea... a pretty easy way to tell if they are original or not....is to look inside the marks with a loupe.... it's like any other coin... dirt and gunk gets in there over time and you can see it with a loupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
