jmccowan New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/01/2019 11:25 pm I found this in some large cents that I bought. The date looks like 1848 but I am not sure. The image and lettering on both sides is a mirror image of what it should be. All images and lettering is indented not raised. It also is a rotated die of about 200 degrees. What would this type of error actually be called. Should I send it in to be authenticated and graded? Report this Post to the Staff
