SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 5:32 pm Yes, it's a flip-over double strike in the collar. Worth quite a bit, I believe. Edited by SamCoin 05/09/2020 5:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 5:36 pm The glare (From the 2X2) is hiding what we need to see. If the devices are not mirrored, that is a plus. But people make soft dies to make an altered coin look like an error coin. Report this Post to the Staff
TemplarX New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 5:36 pm Thanks, Sam Coin! How can I find out what it is worth? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 5:36 pm Yes, flip-over double strike. Super find! to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 5:37 pm , that's quite rare. I have another 1981 LMC with a significant mint error as well, http://goccf.com/t/350199&whichpage=1. Maybe they're brothers. Report this Post to the Staff
TemplarX New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 5:37 pm Coop, I hope that is not the case. This was found in change. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 5:42 pm Looks like a flip over double strike to me. Incredible find! These are extremely rare and seldom found. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
TemplarX New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 5:42 pm Thanks, Coinfrog, GrapeCollects, CoinHunter27, and all the other responders. Should I send it somewhere to be graded/appraised, perhaps PCGS or NGC? How safe is sending something like this through the mail? Edited by TemplarX 05/09/2020 5:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
QuarterHoarder72 Pillar of the Community United States 2156 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 5:50 pm I would definitely consider getting this graded by a TPG. Awesome error coin! Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 5:54 pm to the Forum It is a real deal and carry's a good premium, if you are planning on selling it then it would need to be attributed ,if keeping it part of the collection ,then I wouldnt spent on TPG.

TemplarX New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 6:07 pm Wow, GrapeCollects, that penny does look very similar to mine (my brother's, actually). Did you have yours graded? Edited by TemplarX 05/09/2020 6:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 6:14 pm Agree. Dr. coop is the authority here on these things, so please show us photos without the flashback so he can further analyze it. Report this Post to the Staff
