@mar, here is a link to the only known DDO for the 1917 cents: http://varietyvista.com/01a%20LC%20...O%201917.htmI don't see how something as dramatic as this could have remained a secret while circulating lightly for more than 100 years. Until proven otherwise, you should assume this is a fantasy/fake coin. Added: also, I think you might mean to be comparing this against the 1955 DDO rather than 1958.

I'm thinking fake as well. What does the reverse look like?

to the CCF I can't imagine that is a genuine coin. Hard to believe this is the only known example of such a dramatic DDO - and that it has gone undiscovered for 106 years.

to the CCF! Lots of things on this coin just look wrong. I too doubt the authenticity of the piece. Can you add an image of the reverse and give us the weight?

Odd. It's very similar to a fake 55.

Fake, and extremely similar to the 1955 counterfeits out there.

Really sorry but  with it probably being a fake. The (58P)WDDO-001 is a nice one along with (55P) |

There are a few of these counterfeits floating around, but so far I haven't been able to pick one up to get a good look at it. It is unclear who made them, but like some of the 1955 counterfeits it appears that the doubling on the LIBERTY and date goes in opposite directions, so likely from that same source.

Quote:Added: also, I think you might mean to be comparing this against the 1955 DDO rather than 1958. Spence, I think the OP is referencing the record price of over $1 million realized in January at GC for a '58 DDO.

Ok sorry for the anticipation guys but I'm back! Shall we wait for more ppl to pitch in their thoughts on it? And with all do respect I feel everyone on why you guys think its a fake! I know its hard to believe, but remember when the 1955 DDO first came about everyone also thought it was a fake and then boom#128165; its like they rose from the grave! Also Spence I'm pretty sure it was the 1958 @ $1.12 million anyways well here are the results everyone wanted to see! Everyone take out your notes and make sure everything looks correct!! I'm uploading 2 other wheat pennies so you guys can see if theres a diff on anything! If this don't change your mind well then lets wait and see what PCGS says! Coin Community seen this first btw yall should feel special!!!Finally I will be posting some other pretty rare flying eagles, large cents,1,2, and 3 cent coins even 2 1922 no mint mark Lincoln cent a few just to name a few I have, so be on the lookout for more! Sorry if I sounded like a *** Edited by Staff - The bad word filter is in place for a reason. Bypassing the filter and making the intended word obvious anyway is completely unacceptable. *** never my intentions!! All love and respect we are all in to win it!!! |
