Message:: [QUOTE="poppa501, post: 1073552, member: 20945"]I've been working on my Lincoln Cent collection since I was 8 years old.  Just turned 62.  Do the math.  I thought I knew a little about coins, especially Lincolns, but.... and I'm almost ashamed to tell this!  While updating a coin in my Lincoln album, I noticed I had the Cherrypickers' Guide out and thought "I'll check for errors"  Got out my trusty loupe and began to search.  Nope...nope...nope...etc.  Got to my nice 1911 S and noticed a series of scratches around the date.  Hmm?  Upon closer inspection, I believe its a DANG FAKE!  I think someone removed part of the 4 on a 1941 S.  They also attempted to remove the VDB from the shoulder.  Now that I look at it, it seems as plain as day.  Wonder how long I've had this POS?  Why have I never noticed it before?  Oh well--Here's the pics. Anyone want to buy a nice 1911 S Lincoln cent...cheap?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH]106427.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]106428.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]106429.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
