You have a point, nod; it's my contention that a sufficiently-perfect die good enough to match design and known die markers cannot be created. That said, a perfect proof would probably need to include known metal composition.

wow; what a bird-walking thread. Which un-photographed rarity shall we talk about next? A shrouded SLQ? I'm supposed to be mature and not perpetuate bs by dignifying it with a response. Another day, I reckon.

As a newbie, I'd also like to see a picture of it.
And I LOVE the Mark Twain quote! Gotta remember that one.

I agree with Mike (wheezydog). There is absolutely no benefit in ridiculing the OP and negatively telling her that the coin is fake. The only beneficial responses would be that the coin is most likely a fake but pictures and a scale are necessary to determine the authenticity. What good does a negative post do, except to foolishly gain attention? Quote:
Tell you what, go on over to the PCGS forums and post your story. Be sure to post all the whiny stuff too. You'll be back here before you can say "I Love Coin Community"... True, although in defense of the CU forums there are some incredibly knowledgeable experts and members there, including some of the "big names" in numismatics. Although sometimes you have to go....  or  there.  Edited by wheatguy

The coin has to be fake! I would have posted a picture to show it off. I would be shocked if a picture ever is posted!

The picture will never come. I bet SD will find it with all his luck at the bank!

im sure in china someone is taking a 1974 mint cent and trying to make a impression of it then polish the cast
and create a mint plate for a alum penny.Better yet a laser cut due plate
would it take alot of effort? I'm sure it would but heck the pay off could be in the millions if the coin was held in auction somewhere in europe where it would not be siezed by the SS
the same for the 43 copper penny.

No it couldn't, Lincoln Cents were never "clad". Current Lincoln Cents are copper plated over zinc but that didn't start until 1982.

On a slightly different take on this "story";
Weren't there about ten of these unaccounted for, that the congressmen didn't return?
I believe these will someday surface and some former congressman and/or his family will be raking in some big bucks.
