1955 double die real?

$150 each? He has more than one? Another sign to beware. If this "acquaintance" thought they were real, he would be asking a very high price. If he thought they might be fake, then he knows they would be worthless, so buy trying to charge $150, sounds like he is dishonest.

Thanks Ketucky and Fish nice to have people looking out for each other. Don't think I can muster up any more Lincoln cent one liners, but if anyone is interested in seeing a pic of the 1922 plain, it might be good for a chuckle or two? Actually for me it would be for educational feedback. Thanks!

 

As long as you've taken something good away from these threads, and indeed accept the facts that have been presented, there's no harm whatsoever in posting other "examples". At the very least doing so can be educational, if not now, perhaps for someone who stumbles upon this thread in the future. Post away...

 

Actually I meant $150 for the 1955, $150 for a 1888 7 over 8 cent (my other post), and then $150 for the 1922 plain (have not posted it because I believe I know the answers now)

 

Ok that's exactly how I see it, because I found zero info on the 1888 liberty head counterfeit on the internet so now it is there for the next guy who comes across one. This isn't the best pic, I would think this is an easy coin to modify so it didn't interest me.

I want to share this webpage with you -

Great info page...thanks.

 

Looks mighty fake to me!

 

A coin dealer gave me some good advise: "If you're going to pay $100 or more for a coin, don't buy it unless it's in a TPG holder". That excludes buying something directly from the US Mint.

 

I would say the 22 plain pictured isn't good either.
