SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/22/2021 12:25 am Without a picture, my guess would be either Pareidolia (which not only allows you to see Indian Head cents on top of wheat cents, but just about anything else you fancy seeing if you squint hard enough), or else a vise job. Neither adds any value to the coin. Edited by SamCoin 07/22/2021 12:26 am Report this Post to the Staff

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7292 Posts	Posted 07/22/2021 12:30 am While an IHC could have been used as a planchet, it's highly likely. In 1909, there would be a better chance for example a left over IHC was in with regular LWC planchet. After 1909, it becomes very unlikely, unless done deliberately.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 07/22/2021 03:52 am an IHC being used as a planchet for an LWC is very unlikely, though possible. We really need pics to say anything for sure.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/22/2021 08:10 am @akkdayam as I said, just an educated guess based on knowledge of the minting process, the fact that there are two simple non-error explanations for this and no simple error explanations (only ones I can think of are astoundingly unlikely possibilities like what Spruett said), and a ton of experience seeing posts on this forum. As I said, pictures still needed. Report this Post to the Staff

A clear give away that was faked. If it were a real double struck coin, both sides of the coin would be affected in the normal position of the dies. Report this Post to the Staff
