Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/22/2018 12:28 am The fully logical response would be, with the image of a one cent coin reversed it indicates a Johnny job of course, but this concoction is about impossible seeing the actual dies for a nickel and cent are different sizes...a one cent die would never fit in the housing... And, a nickel is too large to fit in the chamber for a cent. So either way it's putting a round peg in a square hole... Now, if Johnny were to become smart, he would try to imitate what could be a "mint assisted error". Which coins fit where? A dime is smaller than a cent, a cent smaller than a nickel. Those combinations do happen on overdstrike, but not with inverse detail... He still has to figure that one out! Thanks for playin'!

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/22/2018 02:33 am Well, you didn't give me a chance! Quote: How can one know it isn't a mint employee "Mint-assisted" error, with a possible die cap? I will go ahead and give my answer. The coin is a nickel by appearance and weight. Nickel planchets do not fit into a cent press/colllar (very important!). It has reversed lettering! That does not happen too often as a genuine error.

CoinBuffalo Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 08/22/2018 02:36 am I guess it's not so obvious to me, I wouldn't have thought of that. I should probably do more research on that type of error. I always wondered if any of them were actually legit Report this Post to the Staff
Waynoah83 Pillar of the Community 586 Posts	Posted 08/22/2018 03:56 am He only other possible explanation I could see, even though it seems highly unlikely would be some sort of clash. I'm assuming you can theoretically put a nickel die and a penny die into he same machine, one being the hammer and one being the anvil and get a clash that way and that would explain the reversal of the devices in ONE CENT. A normal strike it reads the right way but because it's a clash it would leave and image that was incused and reversed. Report this Post to the Staff
