if it looks like it's laminating, its possible that it was Two Cents that were glued together, then pulled apart. That can leave a 'laminating' clear piece with the relief of the memorial reverse. Found a few of those over the years. KK |

So what you are saying the memorial that is supposed to be on the correct place looks like a weak strike?
I think I have to rephrase my question, it is confusing when I re-read it.
You know where the reverse areas have a higher relief on the reverse (like the text and the memorial building), and where it is lower (like between the pillars of the memorial building). Does the high relief areas look more "pressed in" into the obverse compared to the lower areas?
Edit: now you see it on the reverse too? Now I really think it's a garage job, someone put several in a pile and squeezed them, or glued them then pulled them apart.

Sorry my man its definetly not a glue job yet with the poor pictures that I produce it could look as if it is, I did some investigating and I'm stoked right now. I'm going to send it to KP-potter to check this one out.

I appriate the feed back and you guys could be absolutely correct because I am just a novise and don't have much experience so believe me I am not doubting your evaluation because it is poor picture quality., men potter is an error coin numismatist very known you can look him up. I hope its something but you guys are probably correct,,Thanks for the input.

Oh, Ken Potter. I got a bit confused there  Just saying, that was just my opinion, I've never seen an actual coin get this kind of treatment so I can only judge by comparing yours with other 2-D images I've seen on screen. |

Speculate all you want.
It's.
Not.
Possible.
I'm always willing to listen, though. So, I'm all ears for anyone who can explain how a clash strong enough to reach the devices is of no greater strength in the fields. Does "E pluribus unum" read forward (like it usually does) or reverse (mirrored)?

I think a simple soak in acetone would well worth it before sending it to Ken or anyone else. It will not hurt the coin so give it a try.

Soaking in acetone right now,the image is mirrored.on the reverse and obverse they are in the identical spot believe me it has to be pretty elaborate to pull this one off stay posted.

It is some type of glue or glue-like-substance. That's what it looks like when it dries between two coins - it turns a little green too. IMO, it is not an error.

Die clashes cannot go into the devices, besides, it's not even lined up properly for a clash....PMD.
