Dearborn Moderator United States 94903 Posts	Posted 06/09/2023 8:18 pm Much better thanks. Now this coin is what we call a Vise job. So what I see is that this coin was part of a 'cent sandwich' and it was the cheese of it. (in the middle) On the obverse (heads) I see an arc from another coin that was pressed against it (same on the reverse too (at the bottom) On the rim of the obverse on the upper left side we can see backwards lettering. I'll post up an image of what I can figure out clearly and you can compare it to your coin. The lettering is "STATES oF AMERICA" but backwards. Also in the shoulder of Lincoln we can see a small part of the Memorial building. Also on the rim of the reverse (above the 'D' of United, you can see a backwards 'IN' from the motto "IN God We Trust. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 51/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Sacagawea Dollars Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels 1938-2005 Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Edited by Dearborn 06/09/2023 8:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
