ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19205 Posts	Posted 03/18/2022 3:15 pm The 'vise job' give away is reversed characters (numbers/letters). Not a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8785 Posts	Posted 03/18/2022 9:31 pm Looks like a vise job with a 64D Lincoln Cent. Can't tell if there is an RPM or not. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8785 Posts	Posted 03/18/2022 9:41 pm After looking at a 64D, the numbers are not right for that year, the 9,6 or 4. Don't think it's dropped letter though, just for that reason. Not sure. Another denomination? -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97320 Posts	Posted 03/18/2022 9:56 pm sure looks like a 1964 in reverse to me. I think I'll compare the real '64 to these as well. Collecting since 1972.

The font is wrong, it looks like an older font but that does not make sense.... -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8785 Posts	Posted 03/19/2022 08:07 am After looking again, it looks pretty good for a 64D cent. I guess you can't expect perfection with a garage job. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Rhet New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/03/2022 3:00 pm Thank you for all the welcomes. My dad and I have been collecting for quite a while but just to collect, we haven't paid much attention to looking for errors. As age crept up, eye sight got worse and I quit collecting, even magnifiers didn't help. Just had a friend show me their digital microscope and WOW.... jumped back in with both feet. I have some catching up to do. Thank you for all the input and research done to explain this coin to me. Report this Post to the Staff
