Second, yes we see these with some frequency here and @john1 is correct that this cent has been damaged in an effort to make it look like a mint error.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15496 Posts	Posted 12/22/2019 07:09 am to the CCF As correctly stated above - this coin is not a mint ardor but produced by someone squeezing two coins together. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
William74 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 12/22/2019 07:34 am Great feedback all. I was stumped, I could not figure out how a penny can be re struck years after it was made. Still a great piece to add to my collection. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/22/2019 12:32 pm 1. If it were from a strike by a die, then the devices would not be mirrored. 2. The devices would be raised, not incuse. 3. Also, the design for a coin 31 years earlier than shield reverse could not be on the struck coin. *Just couldn't happen.* Report this Post to the Staff
