(From what I can see in pics) Also the mint-mark looks a little odd as well, and the color is off too (Could be the pics though) Not a lincoln expert, just what I am seeing. I think that better pictures would have to be given to determine the authenticity of your coin __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   11-08-2009, 12:56 AM   #6 (permalink) keyth28 Junior Member   Join Date: Nov 2009 Posts: 9 thanks   11-08-2009, 12:56 AM   #7 (permalink) blue_oxen Junior Member     Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Lamar Colorado Posts: 200 My Mood: can you get a close up shot of the S and the word united ?

The mintmark just does not seem quite right and the wheat tips just a bit too rounded. You either need to post some larger pictures or take it to your local store to know for sure. __________________ The monkeys stand for honesty, Giraffes are insincere, And the elephants are kindly but They're dumb.
