The ebay seller called it a clashed die. It does look as through there is some "ghosting" of Lincoln's bust on the reverse, but I'm wondering if the reverse wasn't possibly struck through something or struck with a very worn die. Your thoughts on this interesting cent are most welcome. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203701292408 Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 11/26/2021 7:52 pm Thanks for the quick responses. I was the high bidder . . . with one second left. You know how that goes. It is an interesting coin. Aren't mid-1920s D and S cents often weakly struck? Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
