Omega Counterfeiter New Information?

#1 Unread post by Daniel »

This must be close to home because this started on PCGS Collcetor's Universe message board and they deleted it. I must say, if this guy is lying then he most certainly learned the minting process from someone and/or worked at the US Mint.

It is being posted here to preserve it. I think the reason for censorship is just as important. I think there's a lot more to this that some DO NOT want people to know.


It is a download PDF file.

I only thought I knew the story behind this counterfeiter, oops, fraud. Interesting method to convey the story.

Excellent post!

Fantastic read. Thanks Daniel. Lots of pages to read through.
Pure speculation here but I wonder if the Omega symbol was chosen for these fraudulent creations as a quick and easy verbal reference between the individuals? Alpha vs. Omega so to speak.

After the success of the first group (40-50) from the supposed original dies and while they were making all the plans for the second wave, maybe it became verbal code to just use Omega to refer to the current plan at that time (creating the fake dies).

I was glad to see 1/23/2017 on the last post as a time reference.

Daniel, Were you following these posts in real time or just came across this link?
