Well guys- my local, reputable dealer was 80% convinced it is not authentic- but also stated if it is fake its a darn decent one. And considering the rotational die error could be justification for other errors (maybe) he was 50/50 in thinking I should take the loss and send it in as there is little to no info with the rotated die error on a 31s. (another indicator of a fake) if its to good to be true it... appreciate you guys.

Thanks for the input all! I plan on taking to a local guy who has been doing this a long time and really knows his. Will update when I know more. Hoping this is not a dud.

My apologies for not adding the weight as it can be a strong contributing factor of its authenticity. At home I do not have have the most accurate scale, I plan on taking it to work where I have access to 4 decimal scales.
But it weighed 3.01-3.02-3.00. So it averaged low I guess but also not out in left field. It is non ferrous.

Can someone add a link for these Chinese counter fits?

Thanks a bunch. A rotated die makes sense! pcgs appears to only grade with rotated die over 20 degrees off. Would you get this coin graded?

Recently acquired this 1931s and immediately noticed the reverse was not 180 degrees to the obverse. This was going to hang out in my now complete Lincoln cent volume two- but I'm thinking it may be special!

Recently I finally made the decision to fill my volume two Lincoln cents book with the final cent. The 1931s wheat penny.

The coins obverse is not 180 degrees to the reverse. Seems like an error coin but I can't seem to find any info on error coins as such. Hope my pics make sense with the makeshift tape indicator. What do you guys think? send it in for grading? fake?
