While there are wonderful and knowledgeable individuals willing to help and share, there unfortunately are others who couldn&#039;t care less about providing the correct information, and care more about trying to make themselves out to be some sort of &quot;<i>expert</i>&quot;. Such behavior can be beyond damaging to this hobby, and deserves to be treated like the infection it is. Short of those who only roll search, this hobby costs money, be it the few extra dollars one guy can afford to many hundreds of thousands and more another guy can; it&#039;s a lot of money to the individual, and there&#039;s little else that can turn a budding collector into an ex than poor advice resulting in wasted money.</p><p><br /></p><p>For your own peace of mind and education, I respectfully suggest you closely compare this thing&#039;s coin shown on page 1 (post #20 - <i>don&#039;t</i> be fooled by the camera shake) to the known genuine variety shown in the below link. If the night and day differences are not immediately clear, try placing the photos side-by-side, but if you&#039;re capable of seeing the difference between oh, I don&#039;t know, a bumble bee and a dump truck, you shouldn&#039;t have any problems... it&#039;s really <i>THAT</i> obvious. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.usacoinbook.com/us-coins/1958-doubled-die-obverse-lincoln-wheat-cent.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usacoinbook.com/us-coins/1958-doubled-die-obverse-lincoln-wheat-cent.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.usacoinbook.com/us-coins/1958-doubled-die-obverse-lincoln-wheat-cent.jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
