    I can not tell for sure if it is a fake... The pics are to blurry... It appears to have been improperly cleaned tho... The color is way off unless it is poor pic taking???

    Text for "Liberty" is way too small IMO. Especially compared to IGWT.

    There's another 1955 fake DDO up that looks a lot better than this one I'll post in a moment. (And I reported this one yesterday as well - it's still up!)

    The flat fields are not like any cent and the bust is way off, it doesn't look anything like a normal Lincoln cents bust.

    It's like the copy hole filler coins that sometimes say COPY. Problem is, after being sold as a $3 copy later they get offered as real. The better fakes are more scary.
