My grandfather was an avid coin collector and collected Indian head pennies back in 1960's/1970's so he came across a lot of coins. In 1978 when I was 8 years old he started a collection of Lincoln Cents for me and had come across a double reverse just like the one here. He said he didnt know if it were real or not but told me to hang onto it and I still have it in my collection. I have never heard of another one till I saw your post. I would love to know if you or anyone one else has additional information or any idea of value?

 Is it a brockage which is an incuse, mirror-image version of the design. It is produced when a coin is struck into a planchet or another coin. A full brockage is one that covers the entire face (obverse or reverse). The first impression of a coin is called a first-strike brockage. If the coin sticks to a die and becomes a die cap, it will strike additional planchets. These later impressions are called "early-stage", "mid-stage", and "late-stage" brockages. The sharpest, most complete first-strike brockages occur when both the coin (the "brockage-maker") and the planchet are confined by the collar. These "mirror brockages" are highly sought-after. An example of an undated Liberty Head cent ( Indian Head cent) with a full, early-stage brockage of the reverse design on the obverse face is also shown in comparison to this coin. https://www.error-ref.com/brockage-full/Brockage value https://blog.ha.com/brockage-coin-v...-coin-worth/Edited by datadragon

@ma, first welcome to CCF. Second, as noted, best practice is to start a new thread for each new coin. You will see that I have split your post off from that previous thread, but here is a link to get back to it: http://goccf.com/t/333610"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Unsure about the 'personal info' observation. We have posts week after week which share information similar to what the original poster above offered. Of course, personally identifiable info (street addresses, SSNs, phone numbers, etc.) should out of bounds, but general backstory info hasn't been an issue, has it?

Mafisher70, any luck with photos? The topic you had replied to originally (linked in spences post) was a brockage thats why I added the information on the brockage for you. There was a Roosevelt dime also known with two reverse dies mentioned here but just mentioning that for those browsing later that these may exist but are super unlikely to be found, and other mules can be intentionally created like a Magicians coin. https://www.PCGS.com/news/mule-mint...s-the-rarest |
