The 4 on Frodo's coin looks like it has been tooled or otherwise intentionally tampered with.

frodo, use the Macro feature on your camera to get super close to the coin. You will probably need a tripod to keep the camera steady too. If your camera can change lenses, then look into another lens for close up pictures.

For my Lincoln Cent photo (above), I used a DSLR camera on a tripod, with a remote shutter release and a 2-second timer. |

It's highly unlikely that someone would counterfeit a '64 Lincoln.

kinda what I am thinking, completely unlikely
i have posted on the photography forum for help in setting a old camera I have to get a close up
maybe somebody can walk me through the settings. I am not a photographer
IF this coin is genuine, not a forgery as Classic Coin suggests. what would be the value of it?

a 1964 lincoln with post-mint damage is only worth face value.

It is a completely normal 1964-D Lincoln Cent with wear, dirt and PMD. Really, not a question that it is indeed very, very genuine. That nose just took a bad hit. That date was messed with by someone or something - I don't know, but PMD. Those photos are really enough to tell that is an ordinary cent with PMD. Value? Face value, 1 cent. |

The OP coin is a normal strike, circulated 1964-D LMC with post-mint circulation hits ... as such it is worth face value to any numismatist. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |
