If this was already posted I couldn't find it. This listing on ebay is over now, but just wanted to see what everyone thought. I swear that the 1 looks like it was a 4 except I don't believe there was an S produced in 1934. What's everyone's take? http://cgi.ebay.com/1931-S-LINCOLN-...98?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item5ade5771f6
It may have been the '37 that was modified. Too much going on between the 3 and the 1 to even consider taking a chance on it. Guess everyone else thought so too. No bids.
I don't know either but the gap between the 3 and the 1 seems to be much larger than the two examples I have. It is very difficult to tell by the photo for certain.
No bid from me. May be real. Not sure. Somewhat thinking maybe the 1 got dinged somehow. But I agree with sro114, that gap does seem large.
I agree-- that space between the 3 and the second 1 is just screaming "alteration". And the second 1 is bent.
