danhughes Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Wanna be a counterfeiter? Here's how!From making your own coins from scratch, or altering dates on real coins, or combining two real coins into a third coin, counterfeit coins have been around since the first coins were minted in 600 BC.The latest instance of fakery centers around the 1883-S Morgan dollar. Coin faces are shaved off, and then two halves are pressed together to make a "new" coin which is much more valuable than the two coins you started with. (If that is hard to visualize, you'll see the photo when you click the link.)Listen to the whole story at http://thetreasurecorner.com.
