ChromeKnightly New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/16/2022 8:27 pm I know that picture isn't of the best quality. It's a little fuzzy but from what I can tell there's no difference on the reverse side of the penny from any other penny. I'm the farthest thing from an expert but there is a rim all the way around it and nothing seems to be faded quite like the front or misaligned. If there's any thing else I can give you to help please let me know. you guys are the greatest! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 01/16/2022 8:37 pm Well, even with the fuzzy picture, your coin is a MAD obverse. but not enough to bring in any premium for it.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21600 Posts	Posted 01/16/2022 8:45 pm This is why we needed to see both sides. With only one side out, it is a misaligned die. If both sides were out, it would an off centre strike. Report this Post to the Staff
