KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 12/08/2010 3:42 pm It's kinda beat up and looks like maybe someone (or something) polished it one point, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't real. It's a common date in low grade - a nice VG is still only a $20-30 coin and this one's not very nice. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 12/08/2010 4:40 pm With the end of the nose chopped and the big gouge in the eye it looks more like Mr liberty instead of Miss liberty. I really think it's so banged up it looks strange Report this Post to the Staff

thecoinczar Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 12/08/2010 9:19 pm Well she's been around for a while and looks like she's had a rough life. If what you are asking if she is genuine, I say definitely yes. Due to the deep scratches and gouges I wouldn't bid over ten dollars for the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 12/08/2010 9:49 pm I'm not bidding on it, it just struck me as odd. So, yes, I was wondering about authenticity. Report this Post to the Staff
jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 12/08/2010 10:39 pm Looks real to me and the rotated reverse on old large cents is not that rare, not rare enough to give that coin value when you consider the beat up condition. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/09/2010 11:20 am I'd say it's real. Both obv and rev match for N-5 and that variety is know for coming with the reverse rotated about 35 degrees. It sold for about what it's worth. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisnut Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 12/09/2010 12:13 pm Real but serious gouges. I wouldn't call it VG+ though. Report this Post to the Staff
