WeejunsSince1935 New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 7:19 pm Found this in the till at work today. Looks as if the reverse of a lincoln memorial was stamped on the obverse. It only shows up in one portion, and the reverse of the coin looks fine. It's also kind of rasied in that strange looking corner section. I'm not sure if this is an error, or just some messed up coin that had another coin on top of it too long. I would love to know if it carries a premium at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It most likely had another LMC stuck to it at one time and you are seeing the transfer of the image in the substance that is on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

I can't figure out what the other letters are. it is the back of a cent and the letters are ICA from AMERICA, they are backwards because that is how they are then you stick two coins together. That is actually one way to tell a coin that has had glue on it or one that has been hammered together with another coin, if it was from a die the letters would be correct, if they are backwards it happened because of someone tampering with it Report this Post to the Staff
