I grab some S-59 images from Heritage and the map overlaid matches - Thanks
That is my problem. I didn't link to the image from which the map was created.
I mapped this coin and failed to capture any documentation. Can anyone verify its attribution? [ATTACH]
An error is an unintended variation attributable to the manufacture of the coin. A variety is an unintended variation attributable to the...
Also, unless there were two different styles of "S" Mint Marks used for the 1872 Half, the mint mark on the counterfeit is smaller and a different...
But they are only going to get better - eventually to the point where the design aspects of a counterfeit coin will be virtually indistinguishable...
While we can joke about the 1817 Trade Dollar, all kidding aside, I have seen worse counterfeits. The 2nd "1" on the date is not very well done....
From my perspective a 2nd die marriage consisting of a obverse die with the date punched virtually identical on the obverse paired with a reverse...
Not that I am saying the coin is authentic - mind you. There is just nothing here - based on the images that provides me with any level of...
The resolution for the image of the subject coin is not very high. So I can't say with any level of confidence as to whether the date matches or...
Again nothing to indicate counterfeit [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Actually the mint mark was punched into the working die as opposed to the master die.
No the spread of the date on the counterfeit does not match the spread for 1911 or 1914.
I'll admit when I first glanced at the OP's coin in this thread - the damage on the "9" of the date caused me to do a double take and think back...
While the following certainly does not authenticate the OP's coin as real - it also doesn't provide any indication the OP's coin is counterfeit....
I'm not sure either but I don't think they are dies. From the images the design devices appear to be in relief and on a die the design would be...
This is something to take note of. Being the reverse design for the Lincoln Wheat Cent after the "VDB" change in 1909 remained virtually static...
Common marks aside - as for the obverse - the spread of the date matches all the counterfeits. Which is not the spread for a real 1914 Lincoln...
I have concerns of this coin myself. [ATTACH]
It is my opinion the OP's coin of this thread and the coin from the CU thread are not altered dates. They are counterfeits struck from a die and...
Separate names with a comma.
