[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 4204748, member: 92083"]Someone spent a good deal of money getting a custom-made Capital Plastics holder for this 1959 rotated-in-collar double-struck Lincoln cent. The trouble is, the coin is an altered error. Notice the flattening of the details and mushy designs on the second strike, a good sign it was hit with fake dies. For an altered coin, it is not even a good one really. Still, a pretty neat find I got for a very cheap price. It is important to study faked and altered coins to give you a good idea of what to look for. ~Joe Cronin [ATTACH=full]1078013[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1078014[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1078011[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1078012[/ATTACH] These two below are much better altered coins that would fool even many experienced dealers...
