Ooh, yikes, a one look Chinese fake error... Compare to a real deal 1955 DDO and compare the hair on Lincoln to this counterfeit.  Plus you may want to pursue a graded (preferably PCGS, NGC, ANACS), and properly certified 1955 DDO so you know you are getting a real one.  |

Definitely 100% fake. The details are off. Not even close to the genuine example.
Errers and Varietys.

That is a one look counterfeit. Took 2 seconds to detect it. They are selling them on Etsy for $16.98 and are made in China. Edited by JimmyD

Its crazy to me that someone could potentially buy this. Should I tell the seller that its fake? I would hate for someone to be out of 1k

It appears to be a fabricated error, not a natural occurrence.

A pattern and style of this error can tell you that there will be more coins looking like this of this type and style. I was told by a so-called coin expert that this type of error is a true error. Unlike "machine doubling, which is not a true error. However, I have not seen any counterfeit of the strike doubling/machine doubling. If you see one, please share it with the people. Thank you for sharing this awareness.

Copied, imitated, or reproduced coins/currency should be illegal and should not roam around in the market.

Yike - one look fake. Here is my PCGS AU55 example  Quote:
Copied, imitated, or reproduced coins/currency should be illegal They are illegal in the USA. They roam the market due to lack of enforcement of the laws. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artToo many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. |

These coins example looks uniform, and on Etsy.com. It is an example of a true double-die fraudulent scheme. They all should be removed, destroyed, and trashed. Good lord. |

Good chance the Seller already knows it's fake and is just trying to move it on and recover what he can.
