I think maybe that it is a 1989. What does the "G" in FG look like on the reverse? Did you see my last post? Still Lookin

I don't think this is a double struck. It would show on the reverse also. I think this is struck on a piece of a die cap that was falling off. We had one of these a week or so ago on here.

The LIBERTY that appears on the portrait appears to be incuse which means it was pounded into the coin by another coin and not by a mint die. So I'd say it's post strike damage.

Still lookin I think you are right on the 89. I didn't see your last post.
Buddy, if it was pressed against another coin, shouldn't the letters be backwards?

djay1-I think you have a valid point on the orientation of Liberty.

Just a squashed coin, probably from a vise. PSD |

Would't liberty be backwards if it were a vise job?

Would someone please explain why the LIBERTY on Lincoln's head in the OP is not a mirror image of LIBERTY?

Again, if it is a squashed coin, why is the liberty not backwards?

In the thread mentioned above, Mike Diamond had this to say: Quote:
This is a genuine error. What you have is a cent struck through the detached and shifted bottom of a late-stage die cap. The normally-oriented incuse design elements are a common feature of such errors This is what Dustin6 was saying. |
