Hello Guys, Wanted to get your opinion on the mintmark on this coin as it does not look right to me. Pls pass on your comments on this. Thanks in advance!  *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum.  *** |

It looks to me like the date may have been altered. The uneven spacing between the numbers as well as the different sized 1's look off. Are there any signs of the letters VDB at the base of Lincoln's shoulder? What does the reverse look like.

I agree that something seems fishy. Can you please also post a close-up of the date and mintmark? Thx!

Yes, a close-in, sharp pic of the mint mark would be very welcome.

The date does appeared to be altered.
Errers and Varietys.

Just bought the coin and do not have it in hand... Below are the additional pictures shared by the seller, not clear pictures though but sharing what I got from him... Thanks for all your inputs.   |

Looks even more sus up close, although an in-focus pic would be even better. I'd return this one and get my money back if I could.

The mintmark is horrible - not to mention the whole obverse looks wrong.

Could be fake Or just altered?  But I agree that something is wrong with this coin. gigi2110

My first thought was an altered 1911D and I was going to suggest better scope closeups. Unfortunately the closeups are not focused well enough to discern but I agree with the others that something is fishy and I would get my money back.

I'd ask the seller for the weight.

Thanks for all your inputs guys! I cancelled the order with the seller as it was very fishy and does not worth the risk. Thanks again.
