I'm new to error coins and want a little insight on what I'm seeing. I have found a 1944 Lincoln Cent that I thought was just flat out abused. Upon close inspection I found what I thought were just bag marks and scratches were reverse printed letters on the reverse and the dig mark on the face of the coin is actually a reversed wheat stalk. Does anyone else agree and does anyone have any idea if its worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff

I kinda looks like the impressions of those letters on the rim are backwards, which might suggest that someone compressed this coin and another cent in a machinist's vise.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 06/21/2020 9:05 pm I agree with Spence. Damage from two coins being compressed together. It looks like the image may show the rim of the coin with letters that are backward. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
