Counterfeit resource thread

[willbrooks]

I thought it would be a good idea for us as a community to pool together a reference thread of all of the counterfeit cent dies of which we have photos. Let's fight back! We seem to often see the same "dies" posted, so it may not be far-fetched to believe we can compile a significant percentage of these fakes that are out there. I know we have some members that collect counterfeits, so a compilation could be an extremely valuable resource for us to reference.
Please refrain from posts that are superfluous. They will be removed. If you want to thank a post, please use the "thanks" button instead of creating unneeded extra posts. Please only post if you have photos that show a:
1) struck counterfeit
2) cast counterfeit
3) sand cast counterfeit
For the time being, Lincoln cents only please, but we may choose to expand this later. Also, please do not post your "altered" cents in this thread. Since those would each be uniquely made, it wouldn't be part of this focus. If you can, include some text about what focal points on the coin are "wrong." If you are unsure about a coin, please start a new thread about it first to get confirmation from the community before we move it into here. I hope we can build a valuable tool here together!
