MsG36 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 01/23/2025 4:42 pm Please help me with identifying the second error on this misaligned 1993 d Lincoln Cent. To me, it is double struck on the obverse but the strike is flipped as if looking in a mirror. Please help me to articulate what this error is. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 01/23/2025 5:05 pm Agree with the reverse lettering being a tell tale sign of a vised coin. They did do a really good job of it though, most are poorly done. PMD however. Report this Post to the Staff

MsG36 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 01/24/2025 07:38 am Wow, I had no idea.That thought didn't even cross my mind. Why would somebody do that? is that something people do to try to sell "error" coins? So the writing that's flipped , okay I thought that seemed really crazy and couldn't understand how that would happen . But if the writing was not flipped Just For Education sake would you just say it was a misaligned die that was double struck? Kind of a bummer, but thank you all. Report this Post to the Staff
