1922 No D Counterfeit

Found this today and it sure does look like a counterfeit to me. Just wanted to share.

Offhand, I'd say you're right. Surface looks grainy and two's don't look quite right. I'd rather see it in hand before saying for sure...along with weighing it...but I surely wouldn't buy it based on pics.

From what is see that is a fake as you can get! It lacks all of the characteristics of a true 1922 plain.

From what I can remember, genuine examples exhibit the following: 1) a mushy "We"; 2) The "L" of liberty is right on the rim; 3 the first "2" in the date being stronger than the second. There is also a distinctive die crack on the reverse to look for.

I would be heartbroken on that one, but I bet that it is worth a few bucks even as a counterfeit. No matter what a great education piece and a very cool find - I never seem to find anything the old, fake or real.

I am pretty sure that is a cast coin. No only that, but they used the wrong coin for a pattern to make their mold.

To me it looks like a sand mold with the wrong year for Lincolns bust. The 2s are way off. This one kind of looks like the 1914D I have that is counterfeit same sand look on the OBV and REV. The 1914D would look right if it didn't have a sand mold look. Maybe just pitted.

Yep, 100% fake, not even close really. Besides the surfaces, there's a ton of things wrong like the date and the portrait....not even close.

I should add, the correct terminology for coins like this are "fake" and not counterfeit.

[jcuve]

All sorts of wrong...

Obvious the coin was made from a cast molding.

where did you find???

I found it in one of my wheat rolls. So far I have found fake 1914D, 1922 no D, 1955 DDO,
1913S,1909S VDB, there might be a couple more, I would have to dig them up.

WOW! That's a nice fake collection! My only fake is a 09 SVDB, but I had to buy it. It's an added S coin, it's pretty nice but has an obvious fake placement of the MM.

Is it from the same rolls you're selling? LOL

Definitely counterfeit. As for your 09S VDB, BadThad, the mintmark isn't even of the correct style!

Yea, my coin is wrong in many ways.
