<p>[QUOTE="cogglews, post: 169406, member: 6918"]So we had the coin looked at by a very well known person based out of utah here.. He said it is a counterfit, also he stated its the best looking counterfit he has ever seen, he sais there is a crack by lincons nose that goes up his head and off the coin if you look very closely you CAN see it to the naked eye, also he said it looks like they put some black stuff on it that made it look older and then probably took that chunk out thereselves, however WHO know's we still will have it sent in for grading and i will follow up with WHY it is coutnerfit, it is a bronze casting of a 1943 steel. Also another thing that made him say it was counterfit is the simple fact that the picture is if you would say not so sharp you can tell it was not struck as hard as it should have been... also the coin weighs 2.1 grams on his scale which also proves it's not real, 1942 and 1944 P's you were talking about could still be a theory, so i think we will have it sent in just to learn more about this and also to find out EXACTALLY how they can tell its counterfit. THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR YOUR INPUT IT IS MUCH APPRICIATED! I will follow up on this thread after it has been graded by ANACS! Thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
