I agree. I don't like the letters.

I think this may because it is flattened by the fake clash.

 

The nose was a dead give away to me it is fake

 

How about the mouth as well. I've never seen a coin with an American President frowning.

 

unless he had his nose hit and deformed like Abe has in this one no

 

I would say the impression on the bust would have worn with age. A dremel can do the rest.

 

This coin has four outstanding points which catch my eye. 1) Coin appears to be weak strike maybe LDS .. if that is the case why all the detail on the ear not to mention the small dot in center of upper ear. 2) Lincoln's Shoulder appears raised more than expected. 3) No appearance or very little of the front of Lincoln's Beard. 4) Fonts appear to be correct type but not properly struck. It would be a lot easier to get this as authentic than the first one shown to all but an advanced collector.

 

A reverse image would be great but it sure looks fake. There was a thread years ago about something like this. False dies? or soft dies? What am I thinking of? Can't remember.

 

Ideally, but not necessarily.

 

Fake for sure! Never seen anything this bad before yet! Bet it's on Fleabay tomorrow for thousands....

 

I was thinking maybe it was carved.

 

Although it's fun, I think we're beating our brains up over nothing.
I've got one also.
And this one looks better, don't you think?

 

Haha... no.

 

LOL ... no .. better than what?

 

Falsies?

Good POINT

 

Jason, sometimes it's fun not saying anything just to see what sort of responses the OP gets.

Better then this:

 

Ok one last thing before I am done with this thread the OP said it weighed 2.5 grams and was 19 mm. correct me if im wrong but a 64 weighs over 3 grams so in conclusion if the OP has a coin that displays the LMC reverse on the obverse all the legends are wrong the coin just doesnt look right why did it even go past the OP saying it weighed 2.5 grams.

 

Because it's different and unusual. Someone spent some time creating this thing. It would be fun knowing how it was done.
