Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 02/05/2025 3:00 pm The surface pitting and bumps are odd. I wonder if it wasn't cast and then chucked in a fire for awhile to cover up those tracks somewhat. The good news is I don't see the two horizontal lines on the reverse that were diagnostic of fakes awhile back.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96112 Posts	Posted 02/05/2025 5:15 pm light weight, odd coloring, and the profile of Lincoln just looks off - maybe the ear? Is it magnetic? Collecting since 1972.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6505 Posts	Posted 02/06/2025 11:40 am Could have been a fire, sure. I think it's more likely that the discoloration is a result of someone applying the copper plating in a manner that is not consistent with a trained professional using professional-grade equipment.
