I'm looking for a value of this penny. * Private information removed by Staff. Please do not post your address/email/phone number etc. * Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 10/30/2021 5:02 pm I'm guessing that if the wording on the reverse is normal with a faint version of the lettering reversed it is more than likely what we refer to as a "vise job". Two coins were set face to face and struck or squeezed thereby transferring a reverse image from one coin to the other. But this is total speculation. Photos took me a while to figure out too. But I figured it out even though the last computer I felt comfortable in front of was my Commodore 64.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/30/2021 6:30 pm With the devices mirrored, it was not created by a die. (A die is a negative, a coin is a positive) If the coin has a negative design, it was transferred off a positive coin. So it is not a die error, but an altered error. Now, how can this be a mint error? It would have to have transferred on the coin? So looking forward to see what you have. If it has incuse rims on your coin, then it was off another coin. These are not mint errors, but done in a garage. So waiting for images to see if this is what you have. (my guess that it is. We see this often) Report this Post to the Staff
