Oh. It is fake. I did notice the incuse devices and thought it was weird. I would go to a coin shop and take the $100. Lol.

It is a fake, so why send it in? They would charge you to tell you it is a fake. That makes no sense.

In order for a Cent to look this way it has to flip. This Cent looks that it has flip then struck and flip then struck. Incuse marks another cent fell on top,in the madness of the Mint mistake.
Why and would someone Mill down a Die that's well the size of a finger nail and do a great job. Then never do a run,never have more fakes done. They would have and be sold all over the place if they faked this Cent.
Not a fake. Its one of the more rare mistakes/error the mint can make.
I know a few people that Mill,some of you are not understanding how hard it is to Mill/Engrave.
Again I have learned that one must say what they think on this site and then back up what they say. Then stop as I will. I will leave it up to other members. I am done with this Cent. Next

Probably best, because this is a laughable fake which doesn't pass the first glance of anyone who understands the minting process. Hnyluk, welcome to Coin Community and on behalf of the group I wish to apolozise for your treatment in this thread. You have been misled. Mike Diamond is right (of course), and the physical origin of every single mark on that coin can be clearly explained in the context of how fakery creates it. And, more importantly, how such an appearance isn't possible in the existing minting process. |

And no offense, guys, but please keep the text-speak out of the Forum. We use spelling and grammar as best we can at Coin Community. You might have noticed it in the Rules. You did read the Rules, right?  |

Some advice take it for what it's worth but what's helped me excel in the many ventures I've taken on in life has mostly been humility-listening more and saying less especially when you want to become the best you can at your craft and accepting when you're wrong and move on-asking many questions,listening to a lot of topics on here and reading A LOT on my own and studying has gotten me to this point and I know there's a long way to go and I'm fine with that but a big part of my knowledge thus far has absolutely been this forum and listening to these experts that undeniably know what they are talking about and I thank you guys for all your time it's been invaluable-sending 5 coins to john wexler last week and having all 5 attributed has been all thanks to the experts on here especially coop who's really helped me advance and save me an unbelievable amount of time I was wasting on coins because I didn't know what I was looking at-listen to these guys and learn or don't and have a worthless error collection...
