Mrortiz Valued Member United States 125 Posts	Posted 04/22/2018 8:55 pm I looked at the reverse. And have been puzzeled ever since if you need better photos please let me know. I am completely new to coins. So I appolagize if it may sound like I have no idea what I'm talking so please bare with me here it goes on reverse appeaers to be real weak almost un noticeable fg but just to the top right upper conner of fg appears to have something else cant make out what it is. The a column appears to be over lapping the statue which is even less noticeable not sure if it has to do with just time. But between last two columns on bottom appears to be an image of some sort. Between second to the last column seems to have a number 3 side ways. Appears to be the letter T or Y behind the fourth column to the right starting the last counting back. Last two columns to right seem to be over lapping anothder letter. Strange puncture marks on top of second the last column. Including many marks throughout the building not appearing from circulation. Strange dots through out the word ONE CENT. AND the word E PLURIBUS UNUM possible double die or doubling not sure if they are one of the same. I would be grateful for any advice. To see if this is an error coin if so what type it is thank you.

There might be a die clash, in which case some of the design from the front of the coin lightly shows up on the back of the coin. However, I can't see this with the current pictures that you have uploaded to this thread. Maybe take a close-up pic of just this region of the coin?

RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 04/22/2018 9:23 pm I don't want to sound blunt or unwelcoming, but you're experiencing Pareidolia, defined as seeing recognizeable things in otherwise random patterns. It's a normal coin with nothing but circulation damage and maybe a slight Grease Filled Die. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 8:51 pm The statue is missing, Grease Filled Die. The other things appear to be circulation damage ( PMD) or minor die chips or cracks. All of these are considered normal occurrences and generally not collected unless they are extreme examples.
