If it is a copy is will most likely be silver plated brass. You need to weigh it and if it weighs less then 26.73 grams then is is most likely counterfeit. A coin dealer should be able to tell.

The first thing I look for is a sloppy date... and usually don't have to go any further.

Is that a 1955-S Lincoln? Nice 43 steel cents. Might be a 60-D small date. :dontknow:The 82-S Kennedy may be silver. Mercs are silver.

I thought it was because I seem to remember it being one of the last pockets to fill in my childhood book but I guess its not worth much. Although yours look good.

Copy stamped under the eagles wing was dthe first thing I noticed. Even without it though that one isn't very deceptive.
