Post your Lincolns!

The MM may look good, but it is 100% in the wrong position. And, if I can see it, the dot after the D is/was in the wrong position.

how the heck do you fake a mint mark? it seems like it would be difficult because of how it would need to be bumpy... how do you add that?

 

When tooling was a common trade, years ago.
Wish it was still was!
Not good for numismatics though, unless making a Master Die.
Back in the day these guys were pretty good
!
Does any one have a pick of a mm with some Lustre left?
Obviously a counterfeit.

 

That 1950-d Lincoln is a knockout

 

He had it graded as A 62-3, couldn't pass it up.

 

Unless that coin is dull, that is way too low. 65 or possibly 66 looks closer.

 

Definitely, not Dull. It's full of lustre!

 

Here is one of my Wheaties. On the reverse there is a small 1 & 9. I usually find "Wheaties" in penny rolls. It's like opening Christmas gifts.

 

How about a '22 No D...anyone?

 

I think @dwhiz posted one on another thread.

 

This is mine

 

Nice...I'm guessing about F15?

 

Its raw. I know what to look for when it comes to these and this one has all the markers for the strong reverse.

Compared to others I've seen i grade it at vg8

 

IMO, this date is much harder to find (with a strong rev) than a 1914 D. Does the strong rev indicate a eds? Any idea how many rev dies there were?
Thanks.

 

There were 4 die combos. Die combo 2 is the strong reverse. After a big die clash the obverse was polished to remove the clash marks which removed the D mintmark and wore down some of the major devices. The reverse was damaged to the point they replaced it with a newer, less worn die.

Here are all the die pairs

 

Very interesting...so, die pair #2 is THE one to look for?

 

Yup. And the most valuable of course.

 

Thanks for the education.
