yontan Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 11/28/2020 9:25 pm I recently purchased a 1980 cent that was sold as a coin that had an indent. However, it has (somewhat) identifiable lettering within the indent. I just can't figure out if the letters are from the reverse die, from a cent already struck, or from something else. Help would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/28/2020 10:35 pm You have to keep in mind that the image is mirrored and slightly distorted. Does a cent fit into that area? Edited by coop 11/28/2020 11:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2742 Posts	Posted 11/29/2020 12:25 pm It's a partial brockage from the struck tab of an off-center cent. Your coin also has a partial collar error. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
yontan Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 11/29/2020 1:49 pm Thanks for your thoughts. I too thought it looked like part of ONE. If you turn it a little, the backward image seems to show just the edge of the o , then the N in reverse, and the next straight line looks like the spine of the E, with parallel lines from it, especially on the final picture. Please check it again and let me know if I'm way off. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

yontan Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 11/30/2020 7:02 pm Thanks to all of you for your help. Without more info, I will assume it is indeed part of the reverse of another cent, specifically a portion of the ONE, and you were right, Mike, about the partial collar. So, it is indeed a double error coin. Report this Post to the Staff
