vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 08/15/2009 10:08 pm Posted this one awhile back. Pulled this coin out of the box the other night and am still about it. It weighs exactly 2.5g but has larger devices and diameter than a normal 93-D LMC. The attention to detail is weird to all the way down to V.D.B. on shoulder. I have heard of the so called "Texas Cents" that have been pounded between two pieces of leather but this is not the case. It's rim is also split in two and is unplated. Weird. I'm guessing some sort of homemade piece. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

neversuited1 Pillar of the Community United States 1121 Posts	Posted 08/16/2009 12:22 am I think the steps on the memorial give it away for me. for such a sharp strike, the steps are just off. I would venture to say that it would be very hard to counterfiet the Lincoln Memorial Steps even with such crisp strike. jmho Report this Post to the Staff
