tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 4:41 pm I am no expert but I agree with silverworld . and if it flipped twice another coin could have been in there with it giving the reverse/incused design we see so prominently in the front like the backwards in god we trust and the backwards date Report this Post to the Staff
Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 5:10 pm You need to take a hard look at this coin while you think about what it is your describing-it's not that the odds are astronomical it's that the odds are not even there this is an impossible error Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 6:36 pm It would be easily possible if there weren't 150 tons of pressure behind what happened during the strike. These types of errors are flat for a reason. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 6:47 pm Quote: if it flipped twice another coin could have been in there with it You've had many experienced collectors here that have seen hundreds if not thousands of these types of non-genuine errors. It's PMD, a garage job, nothing more. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 6:56 pm Sorry I replied a least I answer as to why I think it is what it is. unlike most. I read others opinions everything I read was duly noted. From what I saw was a small chance of something that I believe could have happened . Sorry but I find your comment directed at me and I take offense to it when I was only suggesting a scenario. Report this Post to the Staff
hnyluk New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 10:39 pm I hate to beat a dead horse here, I can understand how you can fake an imprint and smash pennies together..resulting in reverse images like these two imprints.. But how do you fake prints raised features like these? I can't presume what order all this stuff happened in, but I think it would be hard as heck and quite time consuming to fake this for only one coin. You guys are the experts though not me, I just don't understand how it can be faked. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 10:43 pm Each false die could have been something as simple as a cent into which was driven another cent. The false die would then have the original raised design (which would produce incuse, mirror-image elements) and a secondary sunken design (which would produce the raised elements). The die would have been mounted on a dowel or steel rod. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 10:46 pm I think the cent was made at the mint. to me it looks like a serious error. Edited by CoinMasters 03/15/2015 11:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

hnyluk New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 11:03 pm Fake or Genuine I doubt I'd sell it. I have had it too long to get rid of it. Report this Post to the Staff

Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 11:33 pm Do you guys realize what your saying? So not only would this have had to flip at least once there would have had to been not one but 2 additional cents on the subsequent strikes. One on each side of this cent then struck again-think about what your imagining happened here Report this Post to the Staff
