In the 2nd to last picture the image is not raised but actually indented total mirror of what should be on the reverse on a normal coin

Quote: Even tho on one side the devises are backward, they are raised. So, I have to rule out vise job. It's some type of mint error, it may have been mint assisted but it's some type of mint error. The devices of the cupped reverse look incuse to me, as they should with a full mirror brockage. Maybe the OP can verify this?

It's an early-stage brockage. Nice find.

Thanks to all who participated in helping me try to id what this coin is. I guess my next question is does anyone know to whom I might send this for a official opinion on the error. What the coin might be worth and the big one whom would you trust to give honest opinion and return the coin weather its worth something or nothing?

Mike Diamond responded to this post. He is one of the best in the country at error coins (if not the best). Unless you want to got it slabbed then there is no reason for a second opinion.

Are you familiar with CONECA drvrdog? I would contact them using the link below and tell them what you have and wait for a response from them via email. They are always looking for interesting errors to feature in their online/print magazine. https://conecaonline.org/contact-us/But yeah, you could send it to a third party grading service like PCGS or NGC but who knows what it might come back attributed as on the slab since they don't guarantee their own attributions, that's if it's not sent back in a body bag (deemed ungradable).
