ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19197 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 4:53 pm Yes, vise job. Reversed lettering is a dead giveaway. Thus, suggest not submitting it for grading/attribution. Report this Post to the Staff
TheJoker New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 4:57 pm I was leaning towards it being fake but I figured I'd ask for a second opinion on this. Thank you for your humble answers. I see what you mean about the image being reversed. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 6:32 pm If it were double struck then the both sets of devices would be normal When looking at your coin the top ones are all mirrored on both sides of the coin. So it was transferred off another coin, not from a second strike of the die. No device that comes off a die will be mirrored. It is when it is transferred from another coin, then it is mirrored.
