That sure is a funky error..makes it look fake

Look at the beard on lincoln..looks like its one of those paste on beards..lol
The hair also doesnt look right

 

Can't tell what the heck is up with this coin, bad pictures. Looks like rust.

 

I dont know, but it looks fake if you view the extra large picture. The hair. beard and ear just arent right IMO

 

Definitely something strange with that coin.

 

Greetings,
It certainly looks like those copy coins and the reverse is most likely from another coin. If you buy that. I'm sure the reverse says copy...

It looks to me like this coin has been immersed in some type of liquid

 

Where's the pictures? I couldn't see a thing!

Aidan, click on the big red "THIS" in the first post.

 

They are still there for me. It sold for $255. IF that thing is real, that has to be a bargain. All of the markers I can make out are there for a die #2.

 

Seriously...say that coin was real, would it have not fetched BIG bucks through auction?
I was reading about Lincoln errors at auction and some went for 22-30,000

If you supersize the photo, then maximize...those wheat stems sure are perfect

 

It is very hard to tell.If the vendor had taken a closeup photo of the area near the date,then we can give our opinion conclusively.

The highest I have seen for a 1922 strong reverse is $52,000. Even a XF would be $2,000 to $4,500. That one has got to be XF++++ (possibly unc) without the lamination. I have no clue what that does to the value.

 

it looks like an altered cent......still hard to tell from the pics

 

Any one remember the coin above? Does this 270141531081 look familiar? The 1922 anyway.

 

Fake.

 

Here we go again. *** AGAIN ***
And the price keeps going up. He bought it for $255. Then he tried to sell it several other (including an 09-S VDB) for $2199. Now he wants $2595. What do you think his odds of succeeding are?

 

IMHO it is a way of hiding a removed mint mark. According to the PCGS Grading and Counterfeit Detection book all 1922 No Ds will have a second 2 stronger than the rest of the date as a diagnostic. (I am paraphrasing here) Be wary of any coin that has strong obverse details as these will likely be altered coins having the mintmark removed.

 

Definite no!!!!!
