This is old. But, I'm interested in the Community's thoughts on this "error". A 1981 Lincoln Cent struck on a previously struck Kennedy half. Is there any conceivable way this could happen without being an 'inside job'? And how could this Frankenstein escape Mint quality controls other than the perps sneaking it out?  Isn't this obviously a deliberate 'error'? Is this a Photoshop product? |

It's highly likely that it's an assisted "error." I have a hard time believing that it happened by mistake. It looks intentional. Probably most likely a mint employee shenanigan.

First question would be how can a Kennedy half fit inside a Lincoln Cents sized striking chamber.......... |

must be an employee assisted error - to have it happen, the die must be changed out on the Kennedy run and have a Lincoln die set in place.
any images of the reverse?

Sorry, Dearborn, I don't have the reverse. I don't even know where I found that image originally. It's been residing on one of my HDDs for years, along with thousands of other odds & ends. It has Heritage Auctions on it, though.

Sorry, Dearborn, I don't have the reverse. I'm just wondering do any of you ever read the other posts in your posts or do you just look at pictures? I know @-makecents- jumped all over me one time about not reading the posts before responding even though I clearly DID! Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time even responding in this forum................  https://mikebyers.com/81791091.htmlHow do you miss a YOUTUBE video - AND its with "Frank Weinberg" - do any of you know who he even is? |

like the CCF advertisement boxes There have been times when I would have paid big big bucks for that - such as a couple of years ago. The ads to which I was subjected were from a Chinese online grocery, and featured fried chicken feet. And Marv, my mate has a woodpecker toothpick grabber just like yours. Or are you at her house playing with hers?  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I believe it would have helped if you posted something above the link and video to let the reader know what they were about. (Yes, the video is in the linked page). Many people do not click the links here or watch videos unless they are short, so they are best served by what words we type in the reply. I say this because I post links to existing topics all the time and if I do not say something before the link they blow right past it.  In the future, the video may disappear and the link might 404, but your words will remain.  |
