[QUOTE="USS656, post: 197842, member: 6641"]I'll be the first to admit that I know almost nothing about coins and nothing about errors or fakes so I really have to trust what you say is probably true. With the reverse clean from error I would also think that a double strike would not make sense. Some of the marks on the front look a little jagged (like a tool did it) while others are very smooth. The part that really has me wondering is how perfect the extra marks match the outline of lincoln. If it was an attempt at faking an error the person who did it worked under strong magnification and was outstanding at tracing the outline of the body and head. This combined with (Terry tells me it's been more like 30 years untouched) how long this has been sitting in an old ladies antique register and it does not add up. Why would someone spend the time to do this then spend it somewhere? My crystal ball isn't working either so if it is a fake then I'll probably never understand. Thanks - as always - for your thoughts and opinions!!! :thumb:[/QUOTE]
