An unsuccessful attempt to mimic a key Lincoln Cent. A slanted date? That screams that the coin has been manipulated. BJ Neff |

All the digits or the date are equally strong which isn't right, the whole motto is trong and sharp which isn't right. I'd say a fake.

Interesting fake, it's pretty good...but the flaws have been pointed out above. I have a pretty good SVDB that I keep in my "oddities" collection.  |

Crazy glue, or Super glue? the "S' is too outstanding for the rest of the devices. U.S Garage Minting? That '22 Hmm "no D" must have come from the same process.

Fifth time THIS FORUM to log in. I can see a very clear "4" in the date. "D", odr no "D".

Looks fake to me. The slanted date and letters look suspicious.

Do you mean die pair 2?
IMO, no.
Die Pair #2:
Second 2 in date is sharper than the first 2.
All letters in TRUST are sharp.
WE is only slightly mushy.
IN GOD is mushy.
L in LIBERTY butts up against the rim.
Reverse is sharp.
Is there any die rotation?

There is no possibility that this coin is truly a 1922 "No D" or weak D. It is an obvious fake.

Exactly, so I don't know why we are continuing to debate what it might be if it wasn't a fake.

Dick Not sure how the S was attached, but it's not even close to where it should be either. Poor old dealer guy I bought it from submitted it to PSGS, he wasn't very good at Lincolns. He told me he owned the coin for 20 some years and paid $650 for it.  I saw it in his case with "Not For Sale" written on it....I bugged him for months to sell it to me. LOL Even though these are fakes, I find them interesting when they're done fairly well. They serve collectors as training tools. I'd like to have a side collection of decent fakes just for fun.

Many collectors, including the ANA, have such "black cabinets". |

Thad, On ebay you can get some pretty good ones. Just tell the seller before you buy that you do not want "Replica" on it. I did this for the 1877 Indian and 1856 flying eagle I have. |
