:o Came across this counterfeit last night while sorting.
My heart skipped a beat until I got the magnifier in better focus.
Dang counterfeiter, but it's still fun to get excited with the hobby now and then.

Do not give up yet. While it is obviously an altered coin, there is a niche market for these. Several years ago I sold several altered date wheats to a collector that was referred to me by a local coin club.

While the sale price may be less than you might like, as long as you are honest about it being altered, and you have a willing buyer, you should be ok.

That's the super rare 1944-D partial first 4 error worth thousands. Ok- maybe not...
