Error coins are a specialized field within the hobby and there are several in the group who collect them, but I'm not one. However, I do know there are quite a few counterfeit error coins out there, so any particular error must be approached with some caution; such counterfeits are often created by hammers or in vises.

Some do it to fool others. The only way to tell for sure, the devices (images) on the coin would be raised. To determine this, the coin would have to be viewed. (preferably in person).

Becky Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 10/26/2005 7:09 pm If Lincoln is facing the wrong direction, someone put two coins together and using a vice or hammer, struck the coins causing the imprint. If Lincoln is facing the correct direction, you may have an error. Report this Post to the Staff
