chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 03/13/2020 10:44 am I am certainly not an expert but even I can tell that it's not right. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

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
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/13/2020 7:43 pm Could you add a close view of the VDB. They are also different on the real deal from the examples of an added 'S' to a normal 1909 VDB: Edited by coop 03/13/2020 8:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SDcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 2424 Posts	Posted 03/13/2020 8:11 pm did it used to be a 1919? Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 03/13/2020 8:25 pm Thanks for the great comments! And Coop, you realize this is a fake coin, as in sand cast or something like that, not an altered real coin. So here is the VDB but not sure that really helps much. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/13/2020 8:42 pm Well it appears to be a Philly one. But the location doesn't stand out too strong on it. My earlier comment was to help the new ones realize the differences in dot locations on the Philly and San Francisco VDBs. Edited by coop 03/13/2020 8:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
