F.Y.I.: usually coins that are fakes/forgeries tend to have a value of $1,000+. This 1985 cent with a trend value of less than 50 cents would hardly be worth the time, expense or effort to counterfeit!
Photos couldn't be better to see that that is a pointed 5 1985 cent. You can even see that the lowest part of the left vertical is chopped off like it should be for 1985 pointed. I may even bid, they were hard to find when cents were still flowing freely from every bank.
Welcome to the ccf, there is a whole lot of good here as mentioned.
We have one main coin dealer where I live and EVERY coin I take to him is "worthless" I even took him a untouched Proof coin a few months back to show him. He looked at it and asked how did it get so scratched. The coin was spotless and perfect, so that's when I know that that's how he does business. In this business, as I guess in most businesses, there's always those who'll be there to try to beat you down, hoping you'll get out so they can dominate...Sad to see, but I've already seen lots of it in the short time I've been around. Welcome to the forum, here you'll find that the vast majority are here to help you out, so stay tuned in and be a part of the solution.
