<p>[QUOTE="mcharvet, post: 290125, member: 10738"]I sent this in to pcgs - they said it was not genuine. When I called them to discuss the reason why (just want to know) they would give me no reason and just said it's "not genuine". Surely if they feel its not genuine it must be for a reason OTHER than they have never seen one before. It seems weird someone would double strike the reverse of this year - normally counterfeits try to mimick the legit coin in its entirety. This lincoln cent is very different from the 55 standard DD variety. The obverse is struck different than the regular.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question - if you think its a fake - why? AND should I get a second opinion (other than it doesnt hurt)? Does anyone else agree that pcgs has a "when in doubt throw it out" policy?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff82/MCharvet/DD2.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff82/MCharvet/DD2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff82/MCharvet/DD2.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff82/MCharvet/DD-1.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff82/MCharvet/DD-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff82/MCharvet/DD-1.jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
