I recently found an imposter of the 1936 FS-01-101.

I posted a thread about a month ago of the 1936 FS-01-101 that I found in a bulk purchase of Wheats. I just recently found an imposter of this doubled die. I first look at the date when I put coins under the scope. This is an extremely circulated coin and I first thought lighting had struck twice. But, it is a Strike Doubled imposter of the 101. I will post a couple of photos of the real 101 and the imposter 101.

It looks like die deterioration to me!

Sorry. I haven't a clue as to your point. If you are referring to an "imposture" as a fake, why would someone try to do that? I see a beat up highly circulated cent, nothing more. Maybe you can enlighten us.

 

I know that this is basically a worthless coin. I did find the authentic FS-101-001 about a month ago. If the first thing you look at is the date, it will give you a start that it could be another 101-001 in very rough condition. I do feel fortunate to have the real thing that is currently at the graders.

 

Didn't know to check for this one! Thanks for the alert!

 

There are multiple DDOs for 1936. The FS-01-101 is on some lists of the Top 10 Lincoln Cent DDOs.

 

It's hard to tell. It's heavily worn, but is that obscuring? Show us a little more of the motto if you can.
