CoinSeeker2017 New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 09/03/2023 10:10 pm Hi Folks, I was going through some Wheat Cents, and I found this very odd raised silhouette on the reverse of this coin, and I was trying to figure out if it was done twice, or it was fed through as a planchet for a different coin or denomination. Please forgive me if I am not describing it correctly, but the images should give you an idea. Can anyone tell from the images? Thanks so much. Regards Report this Post to the Staff

The 'ghosting on the reverse is caused by repetitive striking of coins, and the obverse design slowly transfers to the reverse die. (I forget what it is called though) but the obverse is al kinds of messed up. not sure what to say on that. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
