Looks like an authentic, altered coin. Probably 1890-S.

VG8 details. Most of the L of LIBERTY is there, as are parts of most other letters. Looks like it's been cleaned based on the overall glossiness.
I really hope not. After the gold Kennedy fiasco in 2014, I thought that the ANA and the Mint both agreed never to do something like that again.

What color are they now? I think I have maroon and blue ones, but I stopped buying the proof singles after they screwed up the finish over 10...
The spots limit it to 64, but the strong RPM is very nice.
Should there be? No. Will there be? Probably.
The ASE and AGE designs should be left alone. Both are extremely popular and would be hard to improve upon. Screwing them up with something like...
Nice coin, and a good price!
Yeah, I thought the exchange rate was 1 thought = 1 penny. Of course, that was in 16th century England, so we would have been talking about a...

There are plenty of doubled dies that can be found in these proof sets. 1955 has a DDO cent, but not the famous one, also nice tripled die...
If I put your user name together with that post, I have to wonder where these acid dipped wheat cents have been and exactly what the story is. :)
If they're together in a small submission and both have the same kind of toning, they're going to be extra conservative with what they call them....

1921 Morgans are the closest thing to a fake coin the Mint has ever made. The original models were gone at the time they had to quickly resume...
There is a minor Blakesley effect manifesting itself as broad rims on both sides, opposite the clip. Without seeing the edge, the one thing that...
I rescued a BU Roosevelt collection (46-78 incl. S proofs) from a Harco album and put it in a blank Dansco dime album. The inner sleeves didn't...
The coin won't grade unless graded as a mint error. A severe planchet flaw like that would prevent it. Looks like AG to me. The error doesn't...
