Coin intentionally inverted to show image. You can see Lincoln's impression right through the coin. I assume there is a term for this, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to find out shortly.

Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 12/09/2018 1:57 pm Very interesting, and it apparently occurred often on 1946 S LWC. Its odd that I hadn't noticed this before. As predicted, I have an answer. Thanks all. Report this Post to the Staff
USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 12/09/2018 2:50 pm Good eye! ! I wouldn't necessarily say they often occur on a 46-S. For me, I've seen them most on LWC. Here's one of mine: Edited by USSID18 12/09/2018 2:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
