Dutch-Tigger Valued Member United States 301 Posts	Posted 06/20/2023 9:04 pm Greetings. Looks to me to be a squeeze job, or someone laying another coin or washer over the coin and striking it causing this PMD Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 06/20/2023 9:08 pm to the CCF! It looks like someone has done a 'Vise Job' on the coin. They placed a 1972 cent on top of the 1981 cent and squeezed it a couple of times to transfer some of the features of that coin onto your coin. The reversed and incuse digits are almost always an indication of a workshop error counterfeit. It's just a damaged coin now.
