tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 09/01/2022 12:48 am I think these are out of Serbia as they don't really look like the Chinese fakes. Pretty bad overall but makes for a nifty addition to the fake files. 1909 S VDB Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - counterfeit off center Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/01/2022 2:35 pm That's an interesting fake! Why would they make it an off-center strike and not just try to pass it off with regular strike. I would assume that the dies are full. Weird. Is the weight correct on these?

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 10:42 pm It's just struck that way, as there are a number of these floating around. And it's about 0.2g too light, so not real thin but not correct weight either. Report this Post to the Staff
