And here's a Capped Bust half dime, 1836 LM-3, "three over inverted 3" (aka "3/inv3") for my buddy @jesbroken. It's hard to see on a toner like this one... sorry 'bout that.

I like it, especially with the toning.
15 or so years ago, I placed this 36 ½Dime in my 1st 7070. It stayed quite a while til upgraded. I always thought this was an LM-3 but evidently was not. I never liked it and finally one day lost it. Maybe one day I'll discover it in a book, drawer or holder.

@jesbroken, I wrote a JRJ article (July 2023, see page 6 here here) about threes in the Capped Bust half dimes. (Yes, about threes. I was in my infatuation phase with the series. heheh). What you have there is 1836 LM-5, and there IS an interesting thing about the digit 3 in that obverse... but it's not a 3/inv3.
So, Im new around here. Im here to seeif someone could give me an educated opinion on this coin i have. Its a 1943 Lincoln steel cent. Well, actually I believe its a 1944 over 1943 over 1942 Lincoln steel cent. Yea i can hear everybody laughing all the way over here, but ....

Yeah, but it isn't authentic.
Looks like a Chinese knock-off.

@pursuitofliberty - It's some kind of authentic counterfeit. 😂 🤣

I finally got an 1820 and it happened to be a 20/19 so I thought why not throw it up in the old overdate thread.
Since this original thread I also dabbled into the draped bust with one -1805/4.

Good old thread here! I'll jump in. I see some 1942/41 Philly Mercs... how about Denver? This is PCGS AU58 FB.
