Titles are Important! * This cent is kind of weird In God We Trust has somehow been stamped backwards over the IGWT obverse. My microscope will not allow me a full photo so I did the error.

Take a cent with the obverse facing you and press it against another cent (hard enough) and it will leave a mirror image of itself pressed into the second cent. The marks over "In God" look like they are from where the outer edge of the first cent left it's marks. Report this Post to the Staff
