i'm not so sure about this one. the seller has sold some other CC morgans and they are imaged just as poorly as the 78-cc making a more challenging authentication imo

but i am all ears

maybe we can find out if there is a known vam with that gouge below the eagles tailfeathers and/or use the close-up of the mm

It's the reverse of '79. Does not exist as far as US Mint made.

some documentation backing AUandAG and not me ><

now i wonder if someone ever says to me, "lance, isn't that a train coming right at you?"

then i ask, "are you sure that is a train" !!

Sometimes the obvious is just too obvious and gets overlooked! No that's just a headlight!

i was even thinking of posting some of the images for the obv dies of the 09-s and 09-s-vdb lincolns, but my credibility just got shot to heck

i'll have to wait a while and build it back up ><

Should have stuck with the old reverse, at least it did not have PVC residue!

Ended by the seller because it's "no longer available". Probably sold it off-ebay to an unknowing fish.

The rim is the dead give away and I'm surprised the seller would allow it to be viewed, that is, if they are aware it's a fake.
I came across a '93 CC with the exact same kind of rim recently, it was fake. Plus the thickness of the coin was off.

The pictures are not the best, but I believe the coin is genuine.
The problem is, the seller in error created the listing with a picture of the obverse of one coin, combined with a picture of the reverse of a different coin.
Realizing that, they cancelled the listing and restarted it with the proper reverse picture.

But, there is a new mystery - the reverse side of the coin in the first (now cancelled) auction has a reverse of 1879, combined with a small CC (which was only used in 1878).
That is the coin that I would like to see up-close.

I think that 1880 had a reverse of '79 with small CC's.
