<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1309804, member: 29239&quot;]CashDude i&#039;m totally with you on this one. The folks on here that even comes close to thinking this is a clashed die coin needs to stop trying to collect coins and first learn more about the mint operations . Well I was the winning bidder of this piece of what I think is junk. I got it to put in my ICG junk collection. I have quite a few slabbed coins by them that only a few are labeled correctly.This one has to be the worst goof up of all time by any grading Co. if this is a hammer job.</p><p><br /></p><p>even a beginning collector should be able to identify this coin as a hammer job at first glance. look at the backward and sunken in letters of the word America then look at the pillars of the memorial building on Lincolns chin...There is absolutely no way that a reverse die can clash with the obverse die and transfer the design far enough up into the sunken in areas of the die to transfer the design onto Lincoln&#039;s chin. a die clash can be severe enough to be across Lincoln&#039;s neck but never on his chin area because that is impossible.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to try to see what I can do if anything to stop ICG from authenticating coins wrong. The raw fake coins on auction are bad enough and it is a disaster if we can not trust the slabbed coins. I have seen coins slabbed wrong by all of the major grading companies. I trust ANACS above all of the others my self as the one to make less goof ups. hey don&#039;t get mad at me for liking ANACS coins. I&#039;m just old fashioned and stick to the oldest and most reliable company.</p><p><br /></p><p>I informed the seller of this coin that it looked altered and received some not too nice replys and what I think is a bunch of lies.They say the reverse side of this coin don&#039;t even show a tiny bit of damage , well I will know when I receive the coin if I ever do. How many of you good folks think I should give them a negative? I&#039;m thinking they deserve one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
