reverse of a early lincoln...matty???

lasvegasteddy

me wonders what this will be in hand...twas a lil under $20 to see...what are the chances this is what a mpl looks like in the wild???

ambro51

zero chance. mpls never have irregular rims like this piece. Also note the irregular surfaces under CENT. thats the die erosion from striking wear, opposite the bust of lincoln on the obverse.

Nice to see you back on the forums and stirring up the MPL pot. There hasn't been enough of that lately.

In regard to your coin, I hope you're right but way too hard to tell from that picture. I do agree with Ambro that the top of that rim does look thin, but it could be the angle. Date?

it's an 09'
nice to see all of you again too...
i'd post the obverse but to me it's no way on it except those fat sharp as knife flat looking rims...true enough in
"off center alignment."
i've just never seen one in hand raw...oneday
of those i have peered through plastic at....something about that "sheen n glow" of those pebbled mattes rock and something tells me this coin will have that waxy sheeny glow with knife point edging.
even if only to tuck in a lil type set capital plastics by a buff/merc/slq and walker
wanna see the obverse???
mind ya...still some sillyness in me goin on five-o the end of this month as i think...could this be bizz with a proof reverse die...lol

Does not look like one... but, I am no expert, just going on what I have seen (do not own one). Cheers, RickO

Great to see you back at it...........................as to the 1909 look at it this way, under the right circumstances at the right time in the right place and last under the right set of dies on the right press it could have been...

glad to see you back.
