Worthing67 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 09/04/2023 7:08 pm I picked-up an estate about 15 years ago. This was buried in the boxes. I'm trying to decide if getting it slabbed is appropriate. either way, I'm glad to have it. I apologize for my poor photography skills. Report this Post to the Staff

kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 09/04/2023 7:26 pm If this is real, it would absolutely be worth slabbing. I think CuJohn wants you to do the work yourself and tell us which on this is. I will get you closer. Here is the date page for Copper Coins. https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/date.php Edited by kurdlezuit 09/04/2023 7:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Worthing67 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 09/04/2023 8:39 pm I apologize for the poor picture. I will try to get a better one tomorrow when the light is better. I'll follow your guidance and send it in to be graded and slabbed. More to follow Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/04/2023 8:42 pm It looks real to me. Most of the fakes I've seen have either mushy details from being struck with soft, cast dies and lack mint luster. This is sharply struck and seems to have good luster. But I'm not an expert on forgery identification, just my Two Cents. Whatever you do, avoid handling it as much as possible, and only with clean hands by the edge of the coin if you must. Never touch the fields. Also, never clean coins except by soaking in either distilled water or 100% pure acetone from the hardware store (not nail polish remover). Not sure if you know this already, but bears reiterating for every new member with a potentially very valuable coin. Edited by SamCoin 09/04/2023 8:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 09/04/2023 9:16 pm Sam, kurdlezuit got it. I'm just trying to get everybody to look it up. Just telling them where to look if they don't know. I think that's the fun of finding something and confirming it. Report this Post to the Staff
