tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 12:16 am Hey Zurie, thanks for that image! Sadly, it does not have that marker, as that would have been exactly what I needed to nail it down for anyone with questions. Starting to think that short of getting a "genuine" label on it that this bugger would be a tough sell. If it didn't have all the damage It'd be fine, and if it didn't have the tapered planchet it'd be fine, but with both things and no markers it's just too fishy for most folks to go for.

levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 5:34 pm coop, i downloaded it for the knowledge files... just one recommendation, recommend the vertical line stay against the right or left side of the mintmark for consistency and perspective. good stuff. lately I have been looking at 1909 Lincolns. EDIT: maybe better to keep the vertical line on the left side of the ZERO...or down the center like in two of your pictures Edited by levelsofmadnes 03/14/2021 5:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 6:10 pm Me I use those photos for this year mint mark, also for detection of the fake. Images from article: https://www.NGCcoin.com/news/articl...ncoln-Cents/ On fake: (quote)The crossbar of the "B" and the base of the "D" are flat on the right coin, which is altered, while they are angled on the right coin, which is genuine. The authentic piece also has some Strike Doubling on the letters of VDB, which would likely not be seen on coins where the VDB was added. Silvio PS: Not to good on photo editing like Coop but in 150 years from now I will catch up. Edited by silviosi 03/14/2021 6:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5684 Posts	Posted 03/14/2021 7:22 pm @tb, it could be genuine anyway, since not all obverse die 2 coins will have that marker, and the date/mm are spot on. And from what little you can see of the VDB, that looks okay too. It certainly would be easier to sell by getting it graded and authenticated first. If you send it in, perhaps it would help to indicate that it might be a tapered planchet so they don't quickly dismiss it based on weight alone.i Also, you might want to carefully remove some of the verdigris from the upper loop of the S, because I think I can see a hint of that die chip hiding under there.
