<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hwdbob, post: 74908, member: 3060&quot;]Hello Zaneman,That looks like a nice coin although I don&#039;t collect Lincolns.This was up for sale on FLEABAY:</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/LINCOLN-CENT-1931-S-MS68-REPRODUCTION_W0QQitemZ8335729573QQcategoryZ39456QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/LINCOLN-CENT-1931-S-MS68-REPRODUCTION_W0QQitemZ8335729573QQcategoryZ39456QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/LINCOLN-CENT-1931-S-MS68-REPRODUCTION_W0QQitemZ8335729573QQcategoryZ39456QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a></p><p>Please don&#039;t misunderstand that I think your coin is a repro. But i was just at my local dealer and he showed me a copy of a PCGS Guide of counterfeit &amp; reproduced coins &amp; it was amazing how much trouble guys go through to change dates &amp; mintmarks on coins.It takes a lot of talent to do it &amp; you wonder if they got an honest job they could probably make real money.</p><p>He sent a 1916D mercury dime off to be graded &amp; it came back as an added mintmark&amp; if he hadn&#039;t told me I wouldn&#039;t know &amp;he could sell tomorrow online as the real thing if he wasn&#039;t honest.</p><p>The point is the PCGS guide he showed me has close ups of specific spots on the coins from die marks that are endemic to that particular coin which a mintmark mover </p><p>can&#039;t duplicate.</p><p>I won&#039;t pay much of a premium for a key coin online any longer that is not slabbed from a reputable company.I am relatively new to the forum &amp; I have seen other </p><p>posts reguarding this matter &amp; am now in complete agreement.</p><p>AGAIN I want to stress that I am not implying that your is not genuine.I think it is.But I thought this an opportune time tell others what I learned this past weekend.Thanks &amp; Good Luck.Bob.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
