Lincoln's bowtie looks kinda big.
How much did you pay? If it's fake even a $1 is to much but a fun coin to have.

 

I would say counterfeit. Look at the floating bow tie, the bridge of his nose is missing, etc.

 

Fake.

 

Lol.
The sadist in me wants to know how much you paid for it.

 

I can't imagine anyone owning a real one and not having it graded. So, I'm saying fake in the ziplock.

 

What about this 1

 

It appears to be copper and my comment above applies to this one as well.

 

So this 1 is fake also

 

I don't understand why you would buy them and then come here asking for confirmation. These things should be verified well before buying simply because they would be extremely rare and cost prohibitive to most people.

 

My buddy owed me a lot of money he found these and others in his grandpa house after he passed

 

Also have this 1

 

We probably got them all off Etsy last week.

Your buddy still owes you a lot of money. Same amount as before, actually.

 

Definitely not real. You poll should have included No as a choice.

Welcome to CT.

 

The ole "my grandpa" stash story. One of the oldest and likely untrue source of "rare and valuable" old coins on the internet. Especially effective because it kind of explains why they are not authenticated and not graded by the well known third party graders.

 

On the Lincoln cents:

easy: see if they are attracted to a magnet:
1943 if yes= plated.

1944 if no= plated.

the Morgan $ - don't bother, fake
