Where to start with this?
Well, I don't see an "S" mint mark?
The designers initials don't look real, but if they are they're for sure NOT correct for the San Francisco Mint, for sure the period following the "D" is way to close to the "D"
It has a deep valley "N" in UNITED,
etc........etc.............?

    :D I saw that one first and didn't connect it to the other one, nor to the same seller, but the darn pictures of the corroded one was so bad that I couldn't see a VDB, or an "S" mint mark, or much else to tell the trut, its a garbage Lincoln cent no matter what it is. I wouldn't give someone an 8-legged Buffalo Nickel for it :D

    Hello, new account here, collector since 1967.
    The most ridiculous part of the whole thing is that both of these worthless "coins" actually have bids.

    The seller after being contacted and ask to see if a small magnet would stick to those possible steel cents (steal cents) edited the titles to say "Possible Silver Cents" :D
    They never responded to the message.
    In the details they state the coins could be silver or maybe chrome, but don't stick to a magnet.

    WoW! what a great idea, an entire Lincoln Cent Collection and all STEEL, or Chrome, possibly Silver, the seller got a whole roll of possibles for only $1,300 :D
