Chuaman New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 10/09/2023 4:11 pm I got this 1944 penny as change from a restaurant in a casino in Washington state a couple weeks ago. It weighs 2.7 grams and is magnetic. There are some issues with the date and the word liberty and trust. L in liberty in border and the b looks weird. Second t in trust does not look right. Second 4 looks off. I have included pics of the coin. Wanting opinions if I should pursue furthur with authentication. Also liberty looks like it is on a angle. Report this Post to the Staff

J-Tal Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 10/09/2023 5:45 pm My vote is there is a practical joker out there who set a few into circulation. Counterfeit copies are easy to get. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251...9726247.html Looks like the same neckless floating head Abe. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94943 Posts	Posted 10/10/2023 08:45 am details are 'mushy', the rim on the reverse does not look right - Rim Fin at polar opposites (K2 and K8) - something I have never seen before. Liberty looks all wrong and very mushy. missing details on Lincoln's coat under bow tie and again at the hairline and eye. I'll call this one a reproduction coin (fake). Collecting since 1972.
