They are both the same coin just the opposite sides this is how the coin is *** Edited by Staff - Please review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. *** related to yelling |

Your description is confusing: one side is upside down and it has Denver and San Francisco mint marksyour pictures show two separate sides of a coin. if these two pictures are the front and the back of the same coin, your coin is what's known as Magician's coin.it's made outside of mint by a crafty individual. but you need to clarify : are these two pictures the front and the back of the same coin?if your answer is yes,can you position it in front of a mirror and take a picture of the front with image of the back showing in the mirror? And please refrain from capitalizing your letters, it is considered yelling!  Edited by Chase007

 Denver (D) and San Francisco (S) mints. Edit: I see what Chase is saying. If that is the case of both being opposite sides of the same coin that would be pretty cool. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507Edited by chafemasterj

What's wrong with your coin? You need to be way more specific with your description. All I see is two normal coins. One from Denver and one from San Francisco.
Errers and Varietys.

The 2 pictures are the same coin. One side is Denver mint and the other side is a San Francisco mint. One side of the coin is upside down.

I will take a picture of the coin in front of a mirror so everyone can see both sides together.

If that is the case, then coin is altered as mentioned.

It is a Magicians two -headed coin...check the edge I bet there's a seem of two coins put together...I have a two-tailed one that way. Those/are the old way to do it. Can buy them for $3 from jakesMP.com  Edited by Crazyb0

This is the edge of the coin. I'm working on taking a mirror shot to show both sides perfectly  |

I don't think it's two coins together because it weights 2.86 grams

It is a crafted coin and been made outside of the mint, on the edge where there is a glare, you can see how the two coins been infused together.it is a cool find worth a few bucks .
