<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 169292, member: 1242&quot;]Speedy is right! It is a one in a million chance that the coin is real but some folks have hit the Lottery Jackpot the first time they bought a ticket, so don&#039;t give up on hope. The real concern is the weight but given that it looks like a couple of chunks of metal were taken out of the coin and the fact that there were quite a few cents struck on under-weight planchets during 1942 and even 1944, it is still possible that the coin is genuine. Heck, even the weight is about right for some of the under-weight cents that were struck on experimental or foreign coin planchets!</p><p><br /></p><p>I mentioned using ANACS since PCGS and NGC (the top two TPG&#039;s, #1 and #2 respectively) will body bag the coin due to the damage and ANACS is rated third with PCI coming in fourth as far as rating. Also, the folks at ANACS are highly respected for their knowledge of rare and very old coins as well as counterfeits!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
