    I concur. The date digits are the wrong font style and the whole coin has a fuzzy texture and lack of definition. It is of Chinese origin.

    I just purchased this for about double the going rate for a S-139 because it looks later than the latest die state I can find. The markings in the field left of L are not damage and a very light crack and/or chip can be seen on other "terminal" die states of S-139 (24186 and ANS 1086 in Noyes). Both the primary break from the lower curl to the rim and the upper chip/break are stronger. Now the reverse actually looks like the late die state E that Noyes shows on S-140 with weakness at O(F) and even more pronounced weakness at TED. Could this be a case of an interupted marriage with a brief reunion after the obverse of S-140 was discontinued?

    I'll post better photos when it arrives.

    It took you guys a lot less time to figure it out than it took me!

    Fairly large upgrade to the type set I've been building for the past decade or so.

    1832 Capped Bust Half

    It appears to also be a late die state coin if I'm not mistaken.

    Curious if you have images of the 1872?

    IMG_7411.JPG IMG_7412.JPG I lost my computer to a lightning strike on my house last June and I lost many of my files due to negligence in backing up my files regularly. I didn't have much hope for finding this but the purchase was over a year ago and the coin was on my backup drive. I used a USB camera back then so the pics aren't the greatest.

    Picked up this gorgeously toned Lincoln Memorial Cent today from an original 1961 Proof Set:

    I think David Lawrence Rare Coins wanted to move this one out of stock, since they took my offer of 10% less than listed price. It’s in one of the old white ANACS holders, graded MS64 RB.

    If I keep at it maybe I can capture more color, but this is pretty good for now.

    Edit: I ran the original photos through the Haze Filter in Photoshop Elements.
    That removed some of the diffused light that scattered when the lights shone through the plastic holder.
