Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 4:17 pm True, but the position seems to be basically correct for Die #1 - difficult to confirm much of anything without close-ups. Report this Post to the Staff

KevinLaw New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 4:23 pm It looks to me like it is legitimate, but it could seem kind of fishy. If you were considering buying it, I wouldn't suggest buying anything where legitimacy is in question, it just isn't worth it. Best of luck! Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 4:51 pm kevin Drew is not thinking of buying it. He's put it on here for a consensus review as to it legitimacy and if found to be an obvious fake we all report it Have you created a welcome thread?

Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 5:25 pm I have to agree with added MM. I don't like the discoloration around the "S" Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 6:08 pm With those pics, I would not touch this coin with a 10 1/2 foot pole! Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 6:08 pm Disagree. Don't see any discoloration other than a bit of dirt accumulation. MM position (enlarged) is correct for Die #1. An enlargement of the VDB would clarify, but otherwise, I think this is OK. Report this Post to the Staff
Brian Mc Valued Member United States 124 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 6:09 pm I'm no expert on Lincoln Cents, and I'm not ready to declare it a fake and report it. However, the discoloration around the mint mark seems like a real red flag to me. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 6:57 pm Looks closer to Die #2 to me, mint mark level with bottom of 9s. Report this Post to the Staff
PDub18 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 8:32 pm Whoa! Looking at those listings... I guess I will be at least one coin shy of a complete series. ;) Report this Post to the Staff
Parklane64 Rest in Peace United States 2668 Posts	Posted 10/02/2015 12:01 am Interesting, but pictures aren't good enough. Wait until you see a good one that's got provenance. Report this Post to the Staff
