<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2367769, member: 1892&quot;]It&#039;s hard to tell either way, really. We don&#039;t know how square the OP&#039;s camera was to the coin, and in macro shooting the slightest tilt distorts perspective and details all out of proportion to the tilt. We also have to factor the level of wear - another &quot;killer&quot; pickup because 10% is simply_too_much_wear unless Lincolns lose more weight than other issues for a given level of wear - which makes lettering look &quot;fatter&quot; as wear progresses since it&#039;s a bit tapered when punched into the die. All the same, I consider the mint mark appearance here proof positive that it&#039;s not a genuine coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s your observations, since I know you&#039;re pretty decent when it comes to Lincolns, that finally convinced me I need to create the MM location set in high resolution. I know what Heritage&#039;s imaging setups look like - a friend in another forum toured the place and posted pics a while back - and I trust their imagery is pretty much spot-on for squareness to the subject.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
