MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1615 Posts	Posted Today 9H 39M ago The majority of the reverse is covered in large bumps and scrapes from die filing with, I don't know, scotch-brite around a piece of rebar? I haven't found intentional rework quite this bad on a modern US coin before. The O in "ONE" was nearly taken off You can still see a bit of Lincoln's back neck between the memorial columns. Edit: Apologies for the quality of the full coin shots, my scope did not like this coin. Edited by MintedNotPrinted Today 9H 35M ago Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 78225 Posts	Posted Today 9H 13M ago Man, that mint employee went crazy abrading that reverse die! What did he use, a Brillo pad? That Die Clash must have been pretty bad to have that die polished like that. Cool find. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
