There is that famous one that was indeed discovered but never graded /encapsulated by PCGS, but deemed "Not a Fake" by US Treasury Dept. No final verdict has ever been handed down on its' full authenticity. "wouldn't touch that one with a 10 foot pole" https://www.pcgs.com/news/the-myste...lincoln-cent Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 03/12/2025 9:48 pm Agree, notice that the first auction sale price of this coin in 2003 was $48,000, then 2010 auction dropped to $31,000. I think it's a hoax coin, but really as realistic as it is said to be, would most certainly had to have been created by a mint employee with mint equipment. So if something like this doesn't get graded by a big TPG, and gets rejected as "ungradable" then that's it, final word. Report this Post to the Staff
