mishap-coins Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 12/14/2006 08:49 am Seems that the way the doubling is struck it appears counterfiet to me anyone else. I could be wrong or right ! The liberty looks like it is off a bit in angle if it was double struck. The whole concept looks not right. http://cgi.ebay.com/1961-D-Lincoln-...OR_W0QQitemZ 170057707628QQihZ007QQcategoryZ524QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Edited by Metalman 12/14/2006 2:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

On the other hand, based on the recent purchases by the bidders, you'll see there's a few serious collectors there. I'd probably steer clear of it. Report this Post to the Staff

However, if you look at the 'doubled' date you would notice that it came from the same die because there are certain identical features such as the point on the bottom of the MM, and the tip of the 9s.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/15/2006 03:59 am I don't do errors, so my skill of determining whether this is real are rather sparse. If I were a purchaser I would only buy under the condition that the coin be certified at my expense if real, at the seller's expense if not. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 12/15/2006 11:10 am The coin actually looks legitimate to me,It is very unique, rotated double struck,, If it was a squeeze job the letting and detailk would be incused on the coin,, as was mentioned both strikings appear to be from the same die,, and both obverse and Reverse at least by photograph appear to have the same degree of rotation in the correct direction. I do however agree that the guarantee must some how include authentification, this seller could have tripled His money if He would have taken that step prior to selling.
