@bell, first welcome to CCF. Second, yes please give us a picture which is in better focus. These are almost always damage (vise jobs), but a clearer pic will help us be sure that it isn't something more interesting, like a mint error. Thx.

@bell742 sorry to say both photos are too blurry and dark for proper assessment ... the better the picture, the better responses and help you will receive. The following link may be useful: http://goccf.com/t/422658 |

Ok yes that last one was perfect. Thx for sticking with it!
Seeing that some of the text is backwards, I feel quite certain that you have a vise job here. For completeness though it would be nice to see if there is a corresponding flat spot or similar damage on the obverse. Any chance of you adding an overall pic of the front of this cent? Thx.

Fully agree with Spence: Quote:

I agree with the "Vise Job" responses above!
As stated, look for the secondary image on the coin to be backwards,
very common occurrence for some reason...people get bored I suppose.

It is also preferable they a FULL coin image of both sides also be uploaded not just a section of a coin. it help in a diagnosis. However, that being said - this is a 'Vise Job' cent. |

kinda hard to believe a copper penny pressed into another could leave a clear impression without deforming. the only way an incused could happen if not faked; would have been an original die that was used to make the dies that press pennies and was used on this penny. can't believe someone at the mint had time on their hands to do that. wish it were true though. again thks for all your input.

to the CCF You can make one yourself. Take two coins put them in a vise and squeeze. Or use a hammer. As stated above the tell is the devises are backwards. This is one of the top 10 questions we get here. Everybody gets fooled by it the first time. |
