JimNWLincoln Pillar of the Community United States 906 Posts	Posted 04/22/2025 04:05 am FYI - issues with the coin 1) Date/mintmark position of auction coin does not match a genuine coin die (see attached) 2) Coin reverse - left inside wheat has a die chip found on multiple batches of counterfeit Lincoln Cents with a variety of dates & mintmarks. If the die chip is there (above & to the left of United on wheat stalk edge) - it's counterfeit.... Edited by JimNWLincoln 04/22/2025 04:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

I don't think so... if it is the seller he/she either knows it is a fake or don't care if it is and don't research it. If it is the buyer, he/she does not know better due to their lack of experience and being new in the hobby. Report this Post to the Staff

They started putting them in tumblers a few years ago to artificially wear them in an attempt to conceal. This is a prime example. That's what I thought. I'm no expert on this date, but I do know the mintmark tends to be much lower and off center than this one. It's like this one is too perfect.
