SunWay New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 10/19/2014 6:06 pm As can be seen in the photo, looks likes inverted and or upside down impressions of letters above "In God We". The obverse is the only sign of error, nothing on reverse. Can I get any opinions on this? Thanks in advance. SunWay. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/20/2014 12:21 am I agree. Possible Two Cents were placed between two boards and then hit with a hammer transferring just a few mirrored letters. If a vise were used the whole design would have transferred.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/23/2014 3:07 pm It was probably hit by the method of the two pieces of wood hit with a hammer and that was the only area the head made contact with and just left those transferred devices. The tops of the G and D look like there were touched during the process. PSD Report this Post to the Staff
