My goal was to try and get feedback from people who are knowledgeable, so that I can try and narrow down what I ultimately send in to the NGC or PCGS since they seem to charge quite a bit. Basically weeding out the questionable items as well as figure out some other ones which is harder than I thought using the Internet. That was all.

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 06/26/2018 08:40 am I've been closely studying high quality modern counterfeits ever since they first appeared all over ebay 5-6 years ago. That is the main reason why I am confident that the OP coin is not one of those. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/26/2018 08:59 am Door edges barely evident (a groove should be showing), as well as trim line below windows, (should be raised on coin). Tail light near roof line missing. XRF test and ping tone test justified for this particular coin. The results of these tests obviously cannot be determined by visual inspection, but should be done. Corroborative evidence needed. Edited by sel_69l 06/26/2018 09:03 am Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 06/26/2018 09:23 am Scientific measurements like XRF are always helpful of course. OP pictures aren't exactly ideal for showing faint details, but looks like the missing lines you mention sel are actually visible, just very faint. Weakness in that part of the design is not uncommon. Edited by Numismat 06/26/2018 09:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 06/26/2018 09:31 am @WannieA Could you post some additional photos of both sides of the coin for more visual information? Have you tried any of the other tests that were mentioned? Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
WannieA New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 06/26/2018 1:57 pm Here are some... This site makes me resize the images and the quality keeps decreasing :(. I'm thinking maybe I'll take it to a local dealer nearby, let them look and pick out the ones that are worth sending in for grading. Report this Post to the Staff
