NGC - An attempt to create the illusion of a famous variety was sorely lacking in subtlety.

NGC graders recently saw a peculiar alteration on a 1955 Lincoln Wheat cent. As most US collectors know, the 1955 Doubled Die Obverse Lincoln Cent is one the most famous varieties in all of numismatics. The extreme doubling seen on the reverse is unparalleled on any other US coin.

Look condor, some people aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer. Some are safety spoons.
Rest in Peace

I'd love one for my black book. That's creative, even if it is obvious.

I have to agree. I would be tickled to find it.

TPGs, have no fear, I would not bother you with it.

CCF, however, would have to deal with me sharing the discovery.
