I do not see anything that catches my eye as counterfeit either, but I cannot make out that Lincoln. I suspect it is a 1955 DD. Nice coins....

I do not think they produce ugly coins. The coins by the op were produce by the Franklin mint (I am reasonable sure) and I doubt there are many...
I have no great expertise, but I did try a couple thing that make me wonder; Searching with both Yahoo and Google, I can find no mention of a...

Aside from the wood grain, this is still a nice coin. I doubt that the weak strike on the reverse had much affect on the grade. Not many nicks...
If I were to only lose a point, I would be elated. I said I got it cheap. I could easily pay grading fees and still nearly double my money if I...
I understand. It is so difficult to see minor variations like that from pictures. BTW, If I were to grade it, I would think awfully hard about a...
