You'd think they could get the 5 better .

 

Apparently a rare 1896>5. Worth at least $12.05

 

Yeah, but according to all the PM seller/bloggers it will be worth $1000 any day now.

 

I was excited at 1st glance for this coin.
1918-s Lincoln cent
Mechanically altered or whizzed .
Such a shame.

 

Polished hard, then re-toned. Too bad, as it's an interesting piece. Nice little obverse chip in the B in LIBERTY (a "BIE;" you don't see too many of those in older wheats); nice little reverse crack ending in little cud in the wheat ear.

 

Assad's shame when I see Lincolns like these. coins that would B otherwise of the wise beautiful on any other scale that are just ruined my by foolish means

 

What a shame , I hate when people do this . Even if it had spots it's now ungradeable .

 

Beautiful counterfeit $10 lib. I showed this coin to two different dealers and one offered $1300 and the other offered me $1650, then I told them it is a counterfeit...their jaws..

 

Looks like one of those Mid East fakes , what are the diagnostics ?

 

The color looks good, but look at the denticles on the reverse b/t 5-10:00 = counterfeit. I sold the coin for scrap gold after I scratched two big X on both side of the coin.

 

Eddie, yes and no.. It is a Die Chip in the letter B but not a BIE. That would be a Die Break between the letters B and I
Like this -

 

Oh yeah, that's right. It's a chip in the B.
