Could the obverse of this Lincoln cent be some sort of error? The reverse seems to be normal.
You are so right about the 10 baht coins-- I took one out and compared it with a 2-euro coin, and sure enough, they are almost exactly the same...
Cool medal! Where did you get it? I would like to find something like that for my collection.
This one is closer to the date, but there's no White House on the back of it, either
In Japan, they were having a problem not so much with forgeries (although I'm sure they must exist), but with similarity with coins of neighboring...
And now, another 1909 VDB This one has more sentimental value than anything-- it was given to me by my grandmother, who received it from a friend...

Here's another 1909-S, but it's not a penny It's a $10 Indian, with a repunched mintmark. The Breen encyclopedia says it is very rare, but no one...
I don't think PCGS will even look at a damaged coin. Maybe ANACS or NCS will.
Well, here's a Real McCoy for comparison
Well, considering that they ended up going for $3,125, they could very well be rare dates! LOL! Now if I could only find someone who would pay me...
The lighting could explain the wing and the discrepancies in the O's, but the T is definitely lopsided, and the M appears to be too close to the...
Besides the wing, something bothers me about the E in ONE and the M in AMERICA. In addition, the O's in ONE and DOLLAR look a little different...
If you only paid $5 each for BU 1954 Franklin halves, then you got a good deal.
I am of the impression that it should have two red strips-- one at the top, and one at the bottom.
