Has anyone ever heard of counterfiet Lincoln cents?...

Besides, of course, the 1943 copper. I have a 1953 Lincoln. It makes the damnedest sound when I drop it on a table. It's much thinner too.

Sure. There are cast copies of 1909-S VDB and 1914-D, and likely others. Though really, with Lincolns alteration is much more common than struck copies.

Don't know why someone would want to counterfeit a 1953 Lincoln, but I don't know why someone would strike thousands of fake 1944 Jeffs, either.

Boom

You beat me to it ziggy, that's exactly what I was gonna say!...the 09-S VDB and the 14-D

I just got back results today for coins I sent in which included a 1914-d Lincoln.

I have a 1999 mated pair of Lincolns that are not genuine.

Was your '53 acid treated, by any chance?

The 1955 DDO is also counterfeited.
