RES Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 2:03 pm So I was sorting through my change the other day and found this. What exactly do I call this, a double strike rotated? Any help or background info is greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

RES Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 2:31 pm Its the image of the Lincoln Memorial reprinted at a different angle. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 2:34 pm It is a mirror copy because the coin was glued to another one and it is now separated. Report this Post to the Staff

RES Valued Member United States 252 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 3:17 pm I would agree, however, the bottom of the steps on the most solid image has the other image that runs right up bottom of the steps and there is no gap that would be there if it were from another coin. I know that I didn't explain that well, but through each gap there is still material where if it were simply contact from another coin there would be no material. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 4:20 pm Glue, another coin was stuck to this one and removed after the glue dried, leaving a reverse impression. Soak it in acetone and it will be gone. coop is the expert here, and if you don't believe what the forum says you can try sending it off to a TPG. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15419 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 4:38 pm Fully concur that two coins were glued together ... what you are viewing on the reverse is the mirror image of the second coin. The glue will remove with acetone ... leaving behind a normal circulated 1999-D LMC. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
