    I am not as good as others here when it comes to detecting counterfeits. To me it looks genuine, the memorial design on the obverse at Lincoln's nose is suspect. However I don't see a mirror image lettering which I believe rules out sandwich coin pressing and aside from that gap of design off Lincoln'e nose. The secondary designs seemed to be present in both low and high relief that seem to be the real deal.

    BJ I used capitols.

      This is a transparently obvious fake. The soft, blended overlap is characteristic of coins struck by false dies composed of a relatively soft metal.

        I see, so basically what I saw noticed about being in high and low reilef means the opposite? Should it only effect low reilef to prove to be real?

          Your questions are indecipherable. A genuine double strike should show sharp but incomplete peneteration of first-strike elements through the second strike. It's possible to duplicate this effect in a counterfeit, but you need a real press to do it.

              Thank you all for your comments on this point. I will like to hear more facts about why this coin is real or fake. In the past days I took the coin to a few coin dealers and Most of the comments are that this coin was not made by human out of the mint that this coin was made intentionally inside the mint. We argue different points for example the rim is intact but the strikes are soft and also the rise of the strikes. Another point will how this coin get to flip three times in order to be stamped.

                I told you it was a fake and I told you why it was a fake. If you choose to believe otherwise, that's your prerogative.
