It was looked at by ANACS they claimed there is to much going on with this coin to make a determination. Looks to have at least three obverse strikes a 360% looks like the remains of liberty inverted to the right of his eye / about a 20% rotation second strike, noticeable facial features eye and nose / Main strike showing evidence of a flip over by the remains of the Memorial and ONE across the bottom of Lincolns Bust. The reverse shows some expanding of the rim and raised area on the steps and in the field bellow the memorial. I have had this Error for quite some time Debating whether to pursue it further. I have read the stories of late night mint employees shenanigans. But than again why not a one in million or even more a one in a billion coin? We have double denomination coins from going through the mint process twice why couldn't an already multi struck Lincoln accidentally been fed through again. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 1:20 pm It doesn't look right to me either. Maybe someone used a soft die to alter the coin? But the coin looks like a normal cent and someone added some details after the got the coin. Here is a flip over strike nickel Note how the second strike eradicated most of the first strike? Doubled struck rotated in collar: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LOUNT_01.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LOUNT_02.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LOUNT_03.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LOUNT_04.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LOUNT_05.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LOUNT_06.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LOUNT_07.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LOUNT_08.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LOUNT_09.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LOUNT_10.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...LOUNT_11.jpg Note rotation of the strikes. See how some devices were faded (first strike) which ones are now strong (second strike). Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 03/15/2016 4:15 pm I agree with Coop. It looks like the obverse of an originally normal cent was struck rather lightly by a false (counterfeit) obverse die. The obverse shows what appears to be a warped surface with a crease on the right side. The primary and secondary letters of IN GOD WE TRUST show the soft, blended overlap characteristic of crude counterfeits. The second-strike Memorial is shifted way over to the left, despite the fact that the coin was apparently struck in-collar. The reverse is warped with no sign of a second strike.

theclash New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 03/19/2016 01:20 am The reverse does show evidence of another strike on the steps and in the field bellow the steps. There is a raised area at the center of the steps and monument and a faint raised area in the field bellow the steps. Report this Post to the Staff
