Message:: [QUOTE="totally, post: 2483035, member: 80371"]I'd like to add my novice 2 cents (see what I did here) to this conversation. On the post the OP shows of the 1909 S VBD, I have no knowledge of the real mint mark location or the serifs (I don't collect Lincolns), but isn't just looking at the wear in that obviously a huge red flag? The 'S' looks like it has no wear compared to the date and the coin in general. That's not a good sign. On the topic of 3D printing, I don't think I know of a technology to print copper at micron resolution. It could exist, they do have some crazy printing abilities in research settings. I could learn more from some material science friends maybe. And even if one could 3-D print a coin, I do think it would look obviously wrong. It seems very hard to simulate time and wear. 3-D printing just seems like the wrong way to make/fake a coin based on what I know about 3-D printing.[/QUOTE]
