<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Louie_Two_Bits, post: 807498, member: 17748&quot;]I&#039;m trying to hone my skills at being able to detect counterfeit coins. Therefore, I would be appreciative if a Lincoln expert, who is willing to share their knowledge, provide me with their opinion?</p><p><br /></p><p>My opinion: This 1915 S appears fake to me...here&#039;s why...between 11 and 5 o&#039;clock, there appears to be an extra rim running along on the edge, the detail around the eyes, forehead and in the hair seems overly exaggerated, the surface is virtually flawless, but has no luster and the color is off for such a high grade coin, and the stem on the left wheat stalk on the reverse seems to have tiny pits, and there appears to be a tiny metal dot that protrudes from the surface next to the N in Cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Am I right in assessing this coin, or am I wrong? And please tell me why.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p>-LTB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
