Curious that the reverse looks relatively normal.

very interesting, curious how the 'LIB' could be inside what looks like the rim of another coin.

Hmmm, a what if....
Prior die break and a strike through with fragment. That would be a unique find.

Hmm, closeup does not say PMD to me at least, since the letters are rightly orientated in that "fragment" section...  |

Interesting. It would appear that a coin was laid such that part of the rim came across the bottom of the BER in LIBERTY, as seen by the topmost rim imprint on the coin. This imprinted the lettering on the rim of the overlying coin. This is something we see reasonably often, reversed and inset lettering on the rim of a coin. But then they took that coin and knocked or squeezed in onto the fields of this coin three times. What you see is apparently the bottom half of BE and the bottom of the left leg of the R. Now they are raised and correct again. A type of soft die I suppose.

Can you get another nice closeup of the regular LIBER, showing the higher incuse arc.
Also the top left corner of the building including the EP and left dot.
Thanks in advance.

That major bend in the coin is a big addition to this mystery...

I still stand by my explanation. It is the MERI backwards from the reverse. That is the only letters that close to the rim.

Cujohn sorry to disagree but it is clearly IBER of LIBERTY. MREI would be much larger. The flattening on the reverse makes me think it's not legitimate.

An torsioned coin as is for me it is clear a simmulation of an error. I posses and see manny (not to manny) with this kind of error, but never doubled as this or bended.
For me an fake error.

As others have said, these extra letters were applied to the coin after it left the Mint. It's not an error.
