harley1960 Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 04/01/2018 10:15 pm hi, I found this 1976 cent with damage, it is showing 3 diff times the TY, in liberty was punched. the damage on the top shows a piece of metal still logged inside, prob a garage job, but I dont see how the (TY) shows letters forward not backwards, like most garage jobs I have seen, just a weird find.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/01/2018 10:22 pm It is definitely all PMD. As to the TY, it may be that whatever punched the original TY became partially impressed with that and transferred it to the coin again upon a second punch. The TY is in the same position with respect to the shape punched into the coin multiple times.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/01/2018 10:32 pm Soft image transfer, like making a soft die only smaller end. An impression is made in a soft metal stock. Which then is used as a punch, transferring the imprinted portion. This could have been a coin caught in some machine that kept stamping the same image imprinted on its internal parts. This could be a cent caught in ythe mechanical arm of a package sorter. Can't blame the garage imp. Edited by Crazyb0 04/01/2018 11:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
