Dearborn Moderator United States 97433 Posts	Posted 05/07/2023 9:30 pm There is no way that happened at the mint. Not on a 1992 cent planchet. I'd have to say that there is a lot of smoke in the dealers shop. I can see the memorial through the reverse Indian head. I have to ask, is the reverse head incuse? Because I think that the obverse Indian head was 'pressed in from the reverse side. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 659 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 07:39 am Methinks it was likely made by running a normal penny through one of those arcade type coin pressing machines. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 3:41 pm It's a modern 'Repousse' or 'Pop-Out' coin. The first were patented in the early 1900s. Here's a link to someone selling Lincoln/Indian cents for $5.00. https://popoutcoins.com/collections...-indian-head I sure hope the coin dealer was kidding!
