    Keep the penny, spend the others on another penny to go with it.

    I would spend the quarter and the dime. They were damaged after the mint and the Lincoln Cent is a wheat Cent so I would keep it just because I collect those. Take. Look at the error coin thread. You will quickly learn what is post mint damage and what is not. Read up on the minting process and you will see how it would be impossible to do what was done to that dime at the mint.

    Seriously, the '55 appears to have a repunched mint mark (RPM). A close up of that area would be good. Could be in the Top 100

    Keep the wheatie. The other 2 are damaged and worth face value

    First, it is not polite to hijack another thread. In the future, you should start your own thread.

    Second, the US Mint did not make clad SAE's, but we can't help you without seeing photos of the suspected coin. From what source did you buy it? Do you have a link to the site?

    It would have been better to start another thread, but in answer to your question, and following CPM9ball's , it is a fake similar to the one below from china. If you ordered from a company send it back. If on craiglist, youtube, swap meet or Garage sell, you are out of luck.

    That Dime was definitely in a Trolling accident.

    I wasn't referring to you. Didn't you notice that I quoted Ludog's post?

    Those aren't clear enough to tell for sure. Go to this site and scroll down to the '55 D's and see if you have a match to one of those. You may have to take a toothpick and clean out the mint mark. Do you have a loupe?

  19. A loupe? Well probably not since I have to go Google the word....you must have been doing this a long time because you definitely are very knowledgeable and I appreciate your help
