I bought it at a local flea sale mixed in with other no-value coins and possibly an error or damaged nickel which I will post later. or has someone just stamped a penny onto another penny? * Edited by Staff to Add Year to Title. Titles are Important! * how to tell if it has been made in the workshop? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/10/2022 09:53 am Done in a garage. The Difference? Note all the devices are incuse on the coin, all are mirrored and they location of the other two coins were not in the same position. (Note both sides are tails) If it were a double struck coin it would look totally different: CoopHome: How can you tell if a coin was doubled struck and not transferred by a vise squeeze? devices will be equally struck in correct position and not mirrored.
