Time to get this to PCGS or NGC! If you have a authorized dealer that can help in submitting to one of these grader, that maybe the quicker way, if not, you can join either one and submitted yourself.

Depending on the strike. On your coin is will be normal as the strike happened on the fragment. It is when the separation happens after the strike. Then the two pieces will show the on side normal and mirrored, and the other part normal on both sides, because of the split off. Most times they would probably remain together, but they could. But on your fragment, both were struck with the dies, so they are normal on both sides.

Thank you for the explanation coop. After reading it, I looked up some videos on how coins are made and now I think I understand it lol.

Well you started off with a great coin. It will be disappointing for a while to top that one.

Josh, I am a Lincoln Cent specialist but have been following this thread as from your first images it was clear this was a nice error. Congrats on the find! You now have a quote from Mike Diamond verifying the error and that is pretty much the gold standard, so you know what it is. One of the best finds here from a new member in a while. Great error coin and thank you for posting it. |

I think I have seen it in one of Mike Byers rare coin mint error rare coin series, that was my first impression when I saw OP.

@coop - yes it will be difficult but what I love is that my 14yr old daughter found this. I started sending them coins from Belize when I lived there 3yrs ago. My daughter and my 11yr old son keep every piece of change they find and use my microscope more than I do lol. They have been collected for about a year now. Her favorites are over-polished / strike through (she tries to draw what is missing from the coins). I'll ask her if I can post a pic or two, it's really neat. My son just likes anything that looks strange lol (especially machine double). I just love the fact that I'm 40 and can sit with them without music blasting or them fidgeting around haha.
@macmercury - thank you for the info. I will see if I can look up that info up online.

Wow, this is an amazing one. Missing clad layers are a pretty well known type of error, but I've never seen a coin struck on just a clad layer. Amazing!
