tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 2938 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 12:25 am Guessing this is a soft die fake, but I honestly don't know. There are three images both front and back although the ones on the front are pretty soft. The lower bust (raised) can be seen by LIBERTY and what looks like some lettering in that area for the other one. The reverse is just a mess of raised letters (not a vice job) and I tried to make three images with each of the three "strikes" correctly oriented in one of them. Weight is 3.15g Will be interested to see what this turns out to be. 1942-D Lincoln Wheat cent - triple design made how? Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 4604 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 04:56 am Cool coin! I think the only thing that would make me think soft die is that the devices appear to affect the primary strike. But I truly think it's the real deal. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 37203 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 05:02 am Interesting.Maybe Mike would like to comment on it. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 5+ Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 1989 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 06:50 am Neat. The design (e) below the M (AMERICA) doesn't appear to be US. A soft die vise job with a pair of foreign coins that had an incuse design? (I have a 1946p with strong raised elements on the reverse also. Not as confusing or with overlapping elements like this one though. I can post an image for comparison if you like.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 01/08/2020 06:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 2938 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 08:46 am Post away Pete! More stuff to look at and compare to is better. Plus you have some neat coins and another excuse to see one. Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8078 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 08:48 am I'll wait to comment. Probably would be much easier to determine in hand.

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 09:24 am Here's a guess. Triple struck first two through another planchet. One on top of another. This would leave the obverse blank? Maybe? Edited by Willburton 01/08/2020 09:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
sosicoin Valued Member United States 393 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 10:20 am What a magnificent find tropicalbats.... congratulations! You deserve that coin to be authentic. I hope for the best for you... be waiting for Mike's comments... Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 2938 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 10:44 am Well, looks like there is hope as not one has totally come out and said it's a "nope". It'll get slabbed if authentic and into my counterfeit collection if not, so a neat keeper either way. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community 26893 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 10:44 am I bet it's not a genuine error coin. Probably one that's been faked. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 47852 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 12:00 pm I agree. Altered with a soft die. Note the rims how they are affected near all the altered areas. On the reverse, note the first 'S' on States? While it appears that the some of that device is raised, note the area outside of the outline of the added device how the devices are flattened? Richard S. Cooper Some have asked about my images I use and I'm glad to say, you can now you can see the DVD in sections on youtube: 1. Intro, older coins, toned coins 2. Doubled dies 3.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17164 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 12:45 pm I'm going to go with a soft die alteration as well. Gary Schmidt Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 1989 Posts	Posted 01/08/2020 1:22 pm Here's the 1946p. In hindsight, it is easy to see how mine was elongated when mashed with the other coin/token. Damage on the obv also and only done once. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 1989 Posts	Posted 01/09/2020 06:01 am On your 1942, is that a raised wheat stem between the O(ONE) and URI(URIBUS)? Yours also has very little rim damage. Only a minor amount by the base of the left wheat. It seems like a lot of work to go through making soft dies for a 1 cent coin. It just seems the rim damage is too minor for all that is going on with this one to just be PSD or soft dies. Hope you get it figured out conclusively if that's even possible. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
