     I’ve noticed the second eight in the date is extremely weak? What would cause this anyone. I  appreciate all the help and any help given. Thanks everyone

    What makes you think it is a fake?

    Did you weigh it to see if it is 3.11g

    Something odd to it

    I'm pretty sure that what you have is a nice uncirculated 1970 D Lincoln cent. Copper reacts differently to different environments so it is possible the colouring is due to it being enclosed in the crystal ball.  Keep it in the 2x2 as it is in MS condition.

    Is this enough to grade that high. It’s way to modern for me to take the chance of submitting but it’s for my piece of mind

    Hi TON,

    Unfortunately, I don't see any doubling on your coin from the photo provided.  It's possible that you have some machine doubling that isn't showing up in the photos or possibly what they call the "Poor-Man's Doubled Die", which actually isn't a doubled die at all but the result of die deterioration.  Here's a page that explains about the "Poor-Man's Doubled Die"

    http://www.lincolncentresource.com/FAQ/Poormansdoubleddie.html

    Since the 1955 DDO caught on so big with collectors, the "Poor-Man's Doubled Die" is a rare instance of die deterioration sometimes bringing a premium because many dealers over they years have heavily marketed it.

    As always, I hope that this helps you out!

    Wow! TON,

       I've never before seen any of that (what seems to be) oxidation clustered into the date numerals and mottos/legends.
    If that second image is the graded DDO, who graded it?  You could probable take a soft tooth brush to the first image
    coin to get rid of that white stuff. No one will grade it with that on it. It's probably only a VF40, at most, so no dirt removal
    will affect its grading.

    Here you go buddy. Accident in the question font. But now I gotta post this for you

    Hi TON,

    No worries.  That was honestly the last one and I really only typed that because I wanted to talk about hippos muckspreading on a message board and this was my chance.  Sometimes, I have a weird sense of humor(:.  I'm done with it for real this time, my friend.  I'm just going back to doing what I do.....talking to you guys about coins!  BTW.....your 1982-D Small Date does have an interesting look to it, but sadly I still think it's zinc with the weight.  But, if you're building a little set of cents in a Whitman folder, that coin would be a great one for it!

    Yeah I believe your correct  but I’ll tell you this I had my hands shaking a little bit when I first saw it

    *yawn meh*.....you're really boring me now.  I'm going to find something interesting to do.  You're putting me to sleep.  You really need something better to do.  I'd recommend buying some coin books and reading them.  You could use it if you're really an aspiring coin collector.  But since you are an obvious internet troll, maybe you should get a book on that instead.  You can't be serious with the coins you're posting and the claims you're making about them.  I don't have to worry about you contaminating newbies anymore....your extreme lack of skills in the areas of numismatics, spelling, writing, photography, communication, punctuation and even trolling are readily apparent to all who come here.  You've done my job of protecting newbies from you for me with your continued posts, which are the message board equivalent of a hippopotamus muckspreading (look it up).  Everyone can easily see you for what you are.  Thank you for doing that for me.  I do appreciate it greatly.  I'm not worried about it anymore.  I've realized that hippopotami just have to muckspread.  It's part of their nature.  And it's part of yours.  You just need an online place to muckspread.  And, it's in my nature to be like a Nile Crocodile.  I'll just swim to another part of the river that is far from where you have to muckspread so I no longer have to swim through the fan of excrement.  It's up to others to decide for themselves if they want to continue to watch your muckspreading or if they want to swim away from it.  I've made my choice.

    Mohawk don’t feed into this guy anymore man. Stick to the silent treatment and it will go away . Yes I called it a IT.  Or better else a dud.  I honestly kind of feel bad because of bad denial can be for some people. All we can do is say our prayers for these individuals
